Now that you have all the ingredients and tools ready, here’s how to prepare the Incomparable Apple Pie:
Step 1: Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
Grate the frozen butter directly into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Add the egg and begin to add the cold water little by little, mixing well until you obtain a smooth mixture.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the filling
Meanwhile, peel the apples and remove the core. Cut them into thin slices.
In a large bowl, mix the apples with the sugar, cinnamon and honey.
Step 3: Assemble and bake
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer to the prepared cake pan.
Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork to prevent it from rising during cooking.
Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough.
Create a mesh pattern with the dough strips over the filling.
Brush the surface with beaten egg to give it a nice golden color.
Step 4Bake and serve
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden and crisp.
Once cooked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
The incomparable apple pie is delicious both hot and cold. Serve with a little icing sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
