How to Make Gordon Ramsay Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients: For the pie crust:

2 1/2 cups (350g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
6-8 tablespoons ice-cold water

For the apple filling:

6 cups (approximately 6-7 apples) peeled, cored, and thinly sliced apples (a mix of Granny Smith and Golden Delicious is recommended)
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice

For assembly:

1 egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash
1 tablespoon granulated sugar for sprinkling

Instructions:

Prepare the pie crust: Whisk the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the apple filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well, ensuring the apples are evenly coated.
Roll out the pie crust: Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough discs into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides.
Assemble the pie: Pour the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Roll out the second dough disc, drape it over the apple filling, or create a lattice pattern. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges of the pie start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious Gordon Ramsay Apple Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!

Ingredients

½ C White sugar, + some more for sprinkling over pie
½ tsp. Ground cinnamon
¼ Freshly grated nutmeg, about a pinch
4 Big tart apples for baking Fuji or Gala, about 3 LB.
4 Tbsp. 4 Unsalted butter – ½ stick
1 XL. Egg yolk, whipped with 2 tsp. of water to make the egg wash
For Pie Pastry (Makes 1 LB.)
½ C. unsalted butter, (1 full stick) Room Temp.
7 tablespoons 7 white sugar
1 Whole XL. egg
1 ¾ C. All-purpose flour

Directions

You want first to start making the filling by caramelizing the apple. Mix the cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. Peel the apples, then core and quarter, and cut the qtrs into large thick chunks. Then put them in a bowl and shank the spiced sugar to coat the apple chucks.
You will fry the apple chucks in two bunches: in a wide, nonstick frying pan, you will melt half the butter, then add half of the apple chunks, and fry until golden and caramelized around the edges over high heat, around 5 mins. After cooking, please place them in a large bowl. Duplicate the remaining bunch of apples with the remaining butter. Let them cool down completely.
Now, preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out around half of the sweet pastry on a lightly floured countertop surface to about ⅛-in. thick. Turn over an 8-inch pie tin on top of the sweet pastry and cut out an irregular circle a little larger than the pan.
Place pastry in the pie pan to the line, pressing down lightly to eliminate air pockets, and trim off the extra pastry. Now roll out the remaining sweet pastry into one more circle, once more a little bigger than the pie pan, for the crust top.
Spoon the cool fried apples equally into the pie shell. With a little water, Brush the rim of the bottom crust, then place the top of the crust over the pie. Push down lightly to trim off the extra pastry to seal the pie. Crease the edges and brush with egg wash on the top to glaze.
Cut a small cross in the center so vapor can escape throughout cooking. You do so by using the tip of a paring knife. Then shank a little sugar on top.
Place pie in the oven and bake until the pie crust is golden brown and crisp about 35 – 40 minutes. Make sure you let it cool for 15 – 20 minutes before cutting to serve.
