Strawberry Apple Pie - Jordgubbs- och äppelpaj

STRAWBERRY APPLE PIE
Jordgubbs- och äppelpaj

An irresistible pie, filled with strawberries and apples. Serve with cream or ice cream – or vanilla sauce! :-D

1 pie = 6 – 8 pieces

Dough:

1 ¼ cup flour
4 to 4½ oz butter or margarine
2 to 3 tablespoons water

Filling:

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
2 to 3 apples
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons potato starch

Brushing:

1 egg yolk

Put the flour in a bowl. Cut the fat in small pieces and divide it in the flour until crumbly. Add water and quickly work to a dough. Leave in the fridge for 1 hour.

Slice the strawberries. Peel and core the apples and cut them in pieces. Mix sugar, brown sugar and potato starch flour and mix with strawberries and apples.

Roll out about 2/3 of the dough to a circle and place in a pie pan, diameter approx 10 inches, in an even layer. Roll out remaining dough to a round lid, as big as the pan. Make a few incisions in the lid to let the steam out. Fill the pie shell and cover with the lid – pinch it together around the edges – and brush with egg yolk.

Bake in the middle of the oven at 390F for about 45 minutes or until the lid is nicely coloured and the apples are tender.

If you wish, sift some powdered sugar over the surface.

Enjoy!
