Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the cold butter.

Use a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it resembles small crumbs. Use your fingertips to rub the mixture until it forms small clumps like sand.

Make a well in the center of the flour and crack the egg into it.

Mix until the dough comes together.

Knead until smooth and not sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Wash the apples, peel, and cut them into desired sizes. Place the apples in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and salt, and stir to combine. Add the lemon juice and cinnamon, and stir until the mixture is dry to your liking. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Once the dough has rested, cut it in half. Roll out the first half thinly and place it in the prepared pie pan, trimming any excess. Use a fork to prick the dough all over.

Add the prepared filling.

Roll out the remaining dough and cut into long strips. Lay the strips over the pie. Brush the top with egg yolk before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes before baking.

Once the pie is assembled, bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes or until the pie is golden brown. Oven temperatures may vary, so watch the color and doneness. Today, it took 32 minutes. Once baked, let it cool before removing from the pan. Serve on a plate ❤🍏🍎👈

Cut into slices and enjoy! 🥰😊
