Apple pie is a favorite pie in America. I used pineapple instead of apples to make my own version!
I used less shortening in the pastry than regular recipes, so it's a little healthier.

Adjust the amount of the shortening between 80~100 g. If you use less than 80 g, the pastry won't be flakey and it tends to become hard.
When it's cooled, warm it up before you serve. Recipe by pogue. (18~20 cm pie plate or tart mold. )

Steps

1

It will be high in calories, but you can use a store-bought frozen pie sheet. I used this pie sheet from New Zealand. You can get it off of online sites such as Rakuten or from the import store Kaldi.
2

To make pie pastry: First, mix the dry ingredients. Add the shortening, and cut it into the dry mixture with a fork until it looks like coarse crumbs.
3

Add the cold water and bring the mixture together without kneading. Flatten the dough with hands and fold it in half. Flatten it again and fold in half and repeat this process 3~4 times.
4

After you repeated flattening and folding, you will have the pie layers inside. If you find it difficult to do this process, you can just hold the dough in half once and bring it together!
5

Halve the dough and wrap with cling film. Chill in the fridge for 15~30 minutes. You can skip this step if you don't have time.
6

Lay a sheet of cling film on a work surface, dust a rolling pin and roll out each dough. Line a pie plate with one of the pastry. It's easy to do this if you flip the pastry over with the cling film underneath.
7

Filling: Peel the skin and remove the core of the pineapple. Slice thinly and mix with the other filling ingredients.
8

Put all the filling on top of the pastry. It will be a big mound, but put everything including the juice from the filling.
9

Top with another pastry, stretching to cover the bottom pastry. Seal the edge with a fork so it won't open up while baking.
10

Using a knife, cut some slits on top as air vents. You can make a lattice top or shape the top pastry however you want!
11

Bake in a preheated oven at 200℃ for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 180℃ and bake for 40 minutes. When the crust is golden brown, and the juice is bubbling around the edge, it's done.
12

Vanilla ice cream is a must item for a piping hot pie! You can use this pastry to make an apple pie, chicken pot pie and various dishes.

Variation: I made a chicken pot pie using this pastry. Please refer to "Soy Milk Béchamel Sauce in 5 minutes" for tips: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/en/recipes/156891-5-minute-white-sauce-with-soy-milk
