How do you make apple pie in Alsace?
1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees thermostat 5.
2
Wash your apples well. Peel them.
3
Cut your apples into strips. The easiest way is to cut them into 4 wedges and then make the strips. You can also cube them for a change.
4
Roll out the shortcrust pastry in the buttered and floured tin. Pinch the pastry together at the corners and prick the base of the tart with a fork.
5
Arrange the apple slices in a rosette (it's prettier).
6
Bake the tart at 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
7
In a bowl, make your flan and mix the 2 eggs, vanilla sugar and 120 grams of white sugar.
8
After 20 minutes, when you see that the apples are cooked, add the previous mixture to the apples and spread with a spatula.
9
Continue baking for 10 minutes until the top is golden brown.
