Ontario apple pie

For the shortcrust pastry:

• 300 g wheat flour
• 200 g organic butter
• 1 pinch of salt
• 5 spoonfuls cold water
• 1 teaspoon honey

Mix quickly flour, salt, honey, butter and water. Put the dough in the fridge and in the meantime prepare the filling.

For the filling:

• 1,2 kg peeled apples
• juice and peel of ½ organic lemon
• 3 spoonfuls honey
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• a little cardamom
• 100 g grated almonds
• 100 g raisin

Grate the apples and immediately pour the lemon juice, then mix with the other ingredients.

Flatten the dough: two circles (bottom and lid) and the edges, with the rest cut out some little shapes.

Put the filling on the bottom and cover with the lid. Make a cross on the lid to let the steam out.

Bake at 200 ℃ for 40 minutes.

Serve with or without whipped cream or vanilla sauce.
