The Best gordon ramsay apple pie recipe

I’m obsessed with Gordon Ramsay’s apple pie recipe, and I know my family is too. This classic dessert has been a staple in British cuisine for centuries, and it’s easy to see why.

The combination of tender apples, flaky crust, and hint of cinnamon is absolute perfection. I’ve tried many different recipes over the years, but this one remains my go-to for special occasions and everyday treats alike.

The key to making a great apple pie is all about the technique – you need to make sure your apples are cooked just right, so they’re tender but still hold their shape. Gordon Ramsay’s recipe gets it just right, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

My kids love helping me make this pie, and they always get excited when they see the finished product. It’s a true family favorite.

I like to serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but it’s equally delicious on its own or paired with a dollop of whipped cream. One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s relatively healthy compared to other desserts – the apples provide plenty of fiber and antioxidants, while the crust is made with wholesome ingredients like butter and flour.

🥘Ingredients

For the Pastry

280g plain flour
1 tsp salt
140g unsalted butter
140ml cold water

For the Apple Filling

850g Bramley apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
100g caster sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 lemon (juiced)
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water

For the Egg Wash

1 egg
1 tbsp milk

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or gas mark 6.
2Place the flour in a large bowl and add a pinch of salt.
3Add the butter.
4Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
5Add the cold water and mix until the dough just comes together.
6Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
7Peel, core, and slice the apples.
8Place them in a large bowl.
9Add the sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
10Toss to combine.
11Sprinkle the cornstarch over the apples and toss again.
12Add the water and mix well.
Set aside.
13On a lightly floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the pastry to a thickness of about 3mm.
14Use it to line a 23cm pie dish.
15Spoon the apple mixture into the pastry case.
16Roll out the remaining pastry and place it on top of the apple filling.
17Crimp the edges to seal.
18In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash.
19Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash.
20Use a sharp knife to cut slits into the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
21Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4 and bake for a further 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the slits.
22Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
23This allows the filling to set.
24Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

📝Notes

Tips: For a deeper flavor, you can sauté the apples with a bit of butter before adding them to the pie. Use a thermometer to ensure the pie is cooked through, the internal temperature should reach 170°F (77°C).

This apple pie has become an integral part of our family gatherings – every time we slice into one (or two…), memories flood back: birthday parties where we’d fight over who got extra ice cream; holiday feasts where Grandma would pass around warm slices; cozy Tuesday nights spent snuggled up by firelight watching movies together… This recipe has brought us closer together as family members than any other dish could have ever done!
