- Cook time: 45 min
- Category: Dessert
- Difficulty: easy
- Language: en

## Ingredients

- 2 cup maida
- 100 g cold butter
- a pinch salt
- cold water (optional)
- 3 small apple, peeled, cored and sliced thinly
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp maida
- milk, for brushing (optional)

## Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the maida and cold butter together with your fingers until it reaches the texture of wet sand.
2. Add a little cold water at a time to the flour mixture to form a stiff dough.
3. Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll out one part into a 1/4th inch thick disk and line the bottom and sides of a 6-8 inch round baking dish with it. Prick the surface with a fork.
4. Roll out the other portion of dough to the same thickness, cut into 1 inch wide strips, and refrigerate both the lined dish and strips until the filling is ready.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, cinnamon powder, brown sugar, maida, and vanilla essence.
6. Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust and create a lattice formation on top using the dough strips, leaving a gap between each square.
7. Brush the top with milk.
8. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until browned from all sides.
9. Let the pie rest for an hour to allow the filling to set and firm up before serving.

## Equipment

- bowl
- fork
- baking dish
- oven

## Tips

- The brown sugar amount can be increased to 1/2 cup if more sweetness is desired.
- The lattice strips can be laid horizontally and then vertically, leaving gaps to allow apple and sugar liquids to ooze out while cooking.
- Insert a knife through the gap in the squares to ensure the apples have turned soft.
- Serve warm.
