Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅓ cup milk (100 ml)
2.2 lbs apples (about 1 kg)
1 lemon
2 large eggs
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon baking powder (15 g)
⅔ cup all-purpose flour (100 g)
⅓ to ½ cup sugar (70–80 g)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish with parchment paper.
2. Zest the lemon and squeeze its juice into a bowl. Peel the apples, remove the cores, and slice them very thinly into rounds or wedges.
3. Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning while preparing the batter.
4. In another bowl, use a mixer to beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, lemon zest, and salt, and mix until well combined. Pour in the milk and blend again.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing until smooth. Pour the batter over the apples and gently fold to combine.
6. Layer the apple mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly rather than piling it up.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, transfer the pie to a serving plate, let it cool, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Enjoy your delightful Tender Citrus Apple Pie! 🍏✨
