Egg NOG Apple Pie Recipe

Here is my recipe for my Egg NOG Apple Pie which I made for Christmas 2014:

What your need:

Pie Crust:

2 cups of all purpose flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. sugar

280 g cold butter

1tbsp. shortening

Add everything in a food processor and pulse 8 times. Then use the function dough and mix everything together add cold water if needed. 

This can also be done with a kitchen aid machine.

Place the dough 1 hour in the fridge.

Filling:

6 -7 Apples, slice fine

100 g raisins

3 -4 apricots, sliced

2 -4 shots Rum

40 g almond slices

100 ml Egg NOG....add spices like cinnamon, vanilla and other Christmas spices you wish.

Peel the apples and slices them fine. Add lemon juices to prevent them from getting brown.

Use a pan and put 1 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp sugar melt. Then add your apples with the raisins and apricots and rum to the pan and simmer for about 5 mins. Pour the mixture on a baking sheet and let it cool.

Once the filling is cooled off add your Egg NOG on top of it.

Divided your dough in two equal halves. One half you use to form the bottom crust and the other half is to use it later for the top. Re-fridge it the other half which you will use later.

Use flour before spreading the dough. When your roll out your dough start in the centre and work yourself up continue to do this until you have a medium thin dough sheet. Roll it on your pin and place it in your butter pie baking form. Then add your filling and repeat the same with the other half which you need to put it on top of your fillings.

If you have left over dough use your cookie cutter and place the Christmas shapes on top of your apple pie dough. Then brush your dough with egg wash or water.

The oven has to be warm 375 bake for 20 mins. then turn it down to 350 and bake for another 35 mins. DONE!
