The recipe for the apple pie, cider jelly and calvados

Apple pie is a must in French cuisine! Everyone has their own apple pie recipe! I propose an original recipe combining apples, cider jelly and calvados!

Ingredients of the apple pie with calvados for 4 people:

For the shortcrust pastry:

• 300 grams of flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt
• 8 cl of water
• 150 grams of butter

For the filling:

• 4 apples
• 3 tablespoons of cider jelly
• 10cl of calvados

Preparation of the apple pie with calvados

• Prepare the broken dough by following the recipe here  : mix the flour and salt; the butter in small cubes, then the water

• Roll out the dough and place it in a buttered pie pan. Prick the dough with a fork, then spread the cider jelly (this will bring a good apple taste and creaminess to the pie)

• Peel the apples and cut them into thin slices; then place them on the cider confit.

• Bake the apple pie in a hot oven (210 °), for 30/40 minutes.

• Once the pie is out of the oven; heat the calvados in a small saucepan, then crack a match, in order to make the calvados flare up, then pour the calvados over the pie. It will continue to burn for a few moments.

• This apple pie can be enjoyed warm or cold.
