There are several ways to make apple pies. Today I wanted to make one of the classic styles of pie or apple pie with whole wheat flour. Ideal for rainy afternoons like this.
I made this recipe thinking of my neighbors, small organic export producers of apples (one of the few that remain and that are going through very difficult times in our country right now), they gave me a box full of super delicious apples! I had no more excuses to prepare this whole wheat pie recipe and take them a piece as a thank you way!
Let’s talk about the recipe. I made this whole wheat pie exclusively and purely from apples. If you do not have many at home or you do not like apples completely and you have pears or green apples, for example, it can be combined between fruits. Anyway, it comes out delicious anyway!
This opportunity, I wanted the apples to be seen in slices when cutting the cake. If you are used to cooking apples beforehand or you like them better the other way, there is no problem. Another day I will leave the other style of pie in case you are interested.
The dough is from the shortcrust pastry family, what does it mean? It is a pastry that does not need to be kneaded. As a result you want a dough that breaks, melts in your mouth, that’s why it is called like that. If we knead this dough, the gluten develops, and that gives it elasticity, and in this recipe it is not needed or wanted that to happen.
If at the time of assembling the pie, the issue of the dough strips complicates you too much, you can close the pie completely and make a few cuts with a knife to above the dough. This way the filling can breathe during baking.
As for the mold that I use, it is a pie mold 26 cm in diameter and 4 cm high (it’s the one I had at home). The proportions of the recipe are to make a pie just like the picture. If you do not like high pies, you can use a lower one mold and make 2 pies, or divide the recipe and make only one. The baking time will not be the same, it will be less so you will have to pay attention.
You don’t have to have the great experience to make this sweet whole grain recipe, you don’t even have to knead it, so don’t make any more excuses! The weekend is coming and what better idea than to prepare a pie for the mate or coffee, or give your children something delicious, nutritious and full of fruits!

Se podrá cambiar el azucar blanco por el azúcar integral en la receta de la masa?
Hola Julieta! Si claro que si! yo a veces uso azúcar común porque me quedo sin azúcar integral. Lo ideal es siempre utilizar la integral pero bueno a veces no se puede! Me alegra muchísimo que te gusten mis recetas! Un abrazo!
