Jamie Oliver Apple Pie

Jamie Oliver apple pie always reminds me of the time I wanted to impress my guests with a dessert that felt both rustic and elegant so I followed a recipe that layered tender apples with warm spices inside a golden crust and the result was an absolute hit at the table.

Since then I have made this pie countless times because it is the perfect mix of sweet and tart flavors with a buttery crust that melts in your mouth so it has become my favorite go-to treat for cozy family dinners and festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this irresistible apple pie and you can tweak it to make it your own!

• Apples – Provide natural sweetness and a tender texture.
• Butter – Creates a rich, flaky crust and adds flavor to the filling.
• Sugar – Sweetens the apples and balances the tartness.
• Cinnamon – Adds warmth and a comforting aroma.
• Nutmeg – Brings a subtle spice to enhance the apples.
• Lemon juice – Prevents the apples from browning and adds brightness.
• All-purpose flour – Forms the base of the crust.
• Egg – For brushing the crust and giving it a beautiful golden color.
• Powdered sugar – Lightly dusted on top for a sweet finish.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls – For preparing the dough and filling.
• Rolling pin – To roll out the pastry dough evenly.
• Peeler and knife – For slicing and prepping the apples.
• Pie dish – Essential for baking the pie to perfection.
• Pastry brush – To apply the egg wash on the crust.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

I start by mixing flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt then I cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles crumbs and add cold water to form a dough which I chill for at least thirty minutes.

Step 2: Make the Filling

I peel, core, and slice the apples then toss them with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a squeeze of lemon juice so they’re coated with flavor.

Step 3: Roll Out the Pastry

I roll the dough on a floured surface and fit it into my pie dish leaving some overhang for sealing later.

Step 4: Fill the Pie

I pour the apple mixture into the crust spreading it evenly before adding the top layer of dough and sealing the edges.

Step 5: Egg Wash and Bake

I brush the top crust with beaten egg and cut small slits for steam to escape then I bake the pie at 375°F (190°C) for about forty-five minutes until golden brown.

Step 6: Cool and Garnish

I let the pie cool slightly before dusting it with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.

Tips

I like to mix different apple varieties for a balance of sweet and tart flavors and if you prefer a richer taste you can add a splash of vanilla to the filling. Serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes it to another level.

Ways to Serve

This apple pie is wonderful warm with a dollop of whipped cream and it’s also delicious the next day served cold with a drizzle of caramel sauce or paired with your favorite hot beverage.
