Directions

  1. By hand, mix together the flour, margarine, lard, and salt until you have a smooth, even mixture. ≈ 3 min
  2. Add two tablespoons of cold water to form a soft but firm ball. ≈ 10 min
  3. Place the dough on a floured surface, dividing it into two discs the size of the mold. Then, press the dough into the mold with one of the discs. ≈ 3 min
  4. Do not pre-cook the apples: they will lose their flavor and turn to mush. Peel them and cut them into slices of 3 to 6 mm thick.
  5. Squeeze the lemons over them, then mix them by hand with 100g of sugar and a few pieces of cinnamon. ≈ 4 min
  6. Place them in the mold without the juice, so that the pie doesn’t bubble in the oven. ≈ 3 min
  7. Mix the remaining sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and cornstarch together, and pour over the apples. ≈ 4 min
  8. Dot with butter, cover with the second disc, and weld the edges together using a fork. ≈ 2 min
  9. Cut the top into a V-shape or a diamond shape, brush with milk, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. ≈ 4 min
  10. Bake at approximately 175 °C (350 °F) for about 60 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown.
  11. Serve hot, with ice cream or custard. ≈ 2 min
