  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • a pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • 1 tsp gingerbread spice mix (optional)
  • 85 g brown sugar
  • 60 g regular white sugar
  • 30 g vanilla sugar
  • 30 g cornstarch

Instructions
 

Apple pie crust

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare an apple pie tin (diameter of 25 cm for a normal size apple pie or 2 pie tins x 18 cm ). I recommend using a 25 cm pie tin.
  • In one bowl mix flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom with cold butter. Press down the butter with flour with your fingers. Press the butter until it has the consistency of sand. Or you can mix these ingredients in the mixer.
  • Add sugar and repeat the process. Pour the cold (really cold) water and vodka into a cup. Knead the dough and slowly add the liquids. Don't pour it all at once! Keep on adding until you have a nice dough. Put the dough into the fridge and let chill for 2-3 hours. It can be stored in the fridge for 3 days.

Apple filling

  • Peel the apples and slice them thinly. Put them into a bowl and add sugars, spices, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and cornstarch. Give it a good stir and let chill for at least an hour.
  • After this time, there will be juice at the bottom of the bowl. Pour the juice into a pot and leave it there. We will use it later.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge. Put it on the floured surface and roll it to the sides. Roll until you have a thin dough. Put the dough over the oiled apple pie tin and push it down and to the sides. Cut off the excess dough.
  • Add apple filling in the middle. Make another ball of dough from the leftover dough. Use a pizza cutter to cut stripes. Put them on top of the apple pie, use an egg wash and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden. Take the apple pie out of the oven and let cool completely.
  • For the syrup - boil the apple juice in a pot. After it boils, it really thickens. If the syrup is too thick, add water and cook on low heat. Before serving - pour some syrup over the slice of apple pie.
