Pie with apples and boiled condensed milk

80 minutes
Apple pie with boiled condensed milk is a true embodiment of home comfort and culinary tenderness. Its roots trace back to traditional European recipes where caramelized apples harmoniously blend with the rich sweetness of condensed milk. The crispy crust creates a perfect contrast with the soft, creamy filling, while vanilla notes add an exquisite aroma to the dessert. During baking, the condensed milk transforms into a delicate caramel cream that envelops the apple slices. This pie is perfect for family tea time as well as special occasions. It offers pleasant sweetness without excessive cloyingness, and the apples add a light tartness that balances the flavor. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled, and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream it becomes a true gastronomic masterpiece.
1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, then reduce the temperature to 170 degrees.

For the test, put flour, salt, and butter in a food processor (you can also grind it by hand), and chop into not too fine crumbs. Add ice water and knead the dough. Shape it into a ball, flatten it out, and roll it out. Place it in a mold, trim the edges with a rolling pin, and prick the bottom.

Bake at 200 degrees without weight for 15 minutes; if the bottom puffs up, press it down with your hand. Place apples in the tart and pour the filling made from condensed milk.

For the filling, put sugar in a pan and place it over high heat, waiting for the sugar to start melting. Shake to distribute the sugar evenly to prevent burning. When it turns into brown caramel, splash in some hot water and stir to create a thick brown syrup.
- Sugar: 75 g
- Water: 6 tablespoons
5
In the syrup, add diced apples and vanilla, and simmer over medium heat until the apples release juice and then evaporate. Add a piece of butter and stir to mix it with the sugar; the apples will become shiny and smell like caramel. Transfer them to a bowl and cool (so they are not hot).
