Apple Pie

1. Prepare materials

2. Mix low-gluten flour, high-gluten flour and salt and sift it on the chopping board. Put 110 grams of butter into small pieces on top

3. Use a spatula to mix the butter and flour together to form a circle without pressing the butter

4. Pour cold water into the center of the flour, slowly mix the butter and flour evenly, lightly press it into a dough with a scraper, wrap it in a fresh-keeping thin film and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes

5. Peel and core the apple and cut into small pieces

6. Put the remaining butter in the pot and heat it over high heat until the bubbles disappear and turn brown

7. Add apples and sugar

8. Keep the heat on high, stir with a spatula until the apples are browned and add the rum

9. Add cinnamon powder when the alcohol evaporates and the moisture is reduced (it’s okay if you don’t add it)

10. Turn off the heat and pour the breadcrumbs in

11. Mix well and let cool, the apple filling is ready

12. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a chopping board that has been sprinkled with hand powder

13. Rotate 90 degrees, roll out and fold in half again

14. Rotate again 90 degrees to roll out into a 3mm thick pie crust, put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes

15. After taking out the pie crust from the refrigerator, place it loosely on the pie pan, roll it on the pie pan with a rolling pin, and the pie crust is ready

16. Spread the apple filling

17. Cut other extra pie crusts into small strips and place them on the surface of the pie to make a mesh. Press lightly where the pie crusts meet

18. Then surround a piece of pie crust along the outer circle of the pie crust, and connect it from end to end

19. Brush the surface of the pie crust with a layer of whole egg liquid, put it in a preheated 220 degree oven and bake for 15 minutes, then lower to 180 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes

20. Mix two tablespoons of apricot jam with one spoon of water and heat it in the microwave until it melts and thick, and brush it on the baked apple pie crust.
