The flaky crust of apple pie combined with its sweet filling is one of my favorite desserts. A few days ago, I bought a 6-inch pie mold from Daiso. (If you look carefully, you can find MIJ products there. Haha, this pie mold is one of them.) I decided to take on the challenge of making apple pie during these colder days. Freshly baked apple pie is perfect for chilly weather. Hearing my classmates' compliments made me extremely happy.

Steps

0 minutes

1

1. Dice the apples and soak them in salt water, then refrigerate. Cut the butter into small pieces and refrigerate. Sift the all-purpose flour, then add sugar, salt, and butter pieces. Mix together.
2

Mix until the butter is evenly coated with flour. Gradually add ice water, cutting and mixing to form a dough. ***Try not to use your hands during the process. If the butter melts, the pie won't be flaky.
3

Use a spatula to take out the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour...

3. In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and heat on low. Once melted, add sugar and cook until it bubbles and turns golden. Add the apples and stir-fry slowly. Add a little water and stir until each apple piece is coated with the butter-sugar mixture. Add cinnamon powder and simmer until the sauce thickens.

4. Take the dough out of the fridge and divide it into two pieces, 1/3 and 2/3. Roll out the 2/3 piece and place it in a greased mold. Brush with a little egg wash, but not too much, or the crust will be too wet. Add the cooled apple filling.
6

Roll out the remaining 1/3 piece, cut into strips, and weave into a lattice. Brush with egg wash. This process is fun, haha. Repeating the same action gives a strange sense of accomplishment.

5. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Bake the apple pie for 40 minutes... A delicious, warm apple pie is ready.
