Ingredients

For the dough

- 50ml cold water

- 150g of butter

- 300g of flour

- pinch of salt

Filling

- 1kg of apples

- juice of half a lenon

- lemon peel

- cinnamon

- nutmeg

- 1 tlb spoon of flour

- 100g of sugar

- 15g of butter

- chocolate chip to decorate (optional)

- 2 tablespoons of milk

Cut the butter and let it warm up at room temperature. In a bowl place the flour and add the butter.

Mix the flour and butter until they form fine crumbs (if you want you can use a mixer to be faster) and then add the water. Make a ball with your hands.

Wrap the ball and let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 min.

In the meanwhile peel the apples and slice them. Add them in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon peel.

Add ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg to taste (half teaspoon usually is fine, and if you really like the spices you can add more)

Add the sugar and one tablespoon of flour.

Mix everything. Squeeze half lemon and add the juice in the bowl. Mix.

On a flat surface cut the dough into two pieces, leaving one piece a bit bigger than the other. Take the bigger one and make it flat. Spread some butter in a pie pan.

Sprinkle some flour over the butter and place the dough. Cut the dough following the edge of the pan.

Add the apples and some small pieces of butter on top. Make flat the second half of the dough.

Place it on top of the apple and cut it according to the edge of the pie pan. With a fork press the edge of the pie.

Spread some milk over the cake so the dough won't burn in the oven. Bake the cake in the oven for 1 hour at 180°C (360F)

Serve a bit warm, just amazing!
