Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients Apple Pie is a simple dessert made with apples, pastry, sugar, and a few basic ingredients, baked until golden and filled with tender fruit.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry or shortcrust pastry

  • 5–6 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 egg (for brushing)

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Optional additions:

  • Cinnamon

  • Nutmeg

  • Lemon zest

  • Vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). A properly heated oven helps the pastry become golden and crisp.

Step 2: Prepare the Apples

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces. Uniform slices cook evenly and create a better filling texture.

Step 3: Cook the Apples Briefly

Place the apples, butter, and sugar in a pan over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the apples begin to soften slightly and release their natural juices.

Step 4: Prepare the Pie Dish

Lightly grease a pie dish and place the apple mixture inside, spreading it evenly.

Step 5: Cover with Pastry

Lay the pastry over the apples, trimming any excess around the edges. Press gently to seal.

Step 6: Brush with Egg Wash

Brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg to create a shiny golden finish.

Step 7: Create Steam Vents

Cut a few small slits in the center of the pastry. This allows steam to escape during baking.

Step 8: Bake Until Golden

Bake for 30–35 minutes until the pastry is puffed, crisp, and deeply golden.

Step 9: Cool Slightly Before Serving

Allow the pie to rest for 10–15 minutes before serving so the filling can settle.
