Apple pie has become deeply woven into American cultural identity, immortalised in the phrase 'as American as apple pie', despite its earlier European origins.
A classic American dessert of spiced apples baked in a buttery, flaky pastry crust — the quintessential symbol of home baking in the United States.
Toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon and flour.
Line a pie dish with half the pastry and fill with the apple mixture.
Top with the remaining pastry, sealing and crimping the edges, and cut a few steam vents.
Brush with egg and bake at 190C for 45-50 minutes until deeply golden.
The flour tossed with the apples helps thicken their juices as they bake, preventing a soggy bottom crust.
