Apple Pie

1. Prepare all materials.

2. Low-gluten flour, high-gluten flour and salt are mixed and sifted onto a cutting board, and then cut into small pieces of butter are put on top.

3. Use a scraper to mix the butter and flour together to form a circle

4. Pour cold water into the center of the flour and slowly mix the butter flour evenly. Use a scraper to gently press into a dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

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

6. Put 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 decreases.

10. Turn off the heat and pour in the crumbs.

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

12. The dough taken out of the refrigerator is placed on a chopping board that has been sprinkled with hand powder and rolled out.

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

14. Then put a piece of pie crust along the outer circle of the pie crust and connect it from end to end.

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

16. After taking the pie crust out of the refrigerator, place it loosely on the pie pan, roll it around with a rolling pin, and the pie crust is cut.

17. Spread the prepared apple filling on top.

18. 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 are connected.

19. Then put a piece of pie crust along the outer circle of the pie crust and connect it from end to end.

20. Brush a layer of egg liquid on the surface of the pie crust, put it in a preheated 220°C oven and bake for 15 minutes, then lower to 180°C and bake for another 20 minutes.

21. Mix 2 tablespoons of apricot jam with 1 tablespoon of water and heat it in the microwave to fully melt and thicken. Brush on the baked pie crust and it's all done.

Tips:

1. The bread crumbs are added to absorb the excess water in the apple filling. Cake crumbs can also be used.

2. Homemade bread crumbs: After the toast is sun-dried or toasted, break it with a food machine.

3. When making apple fillings, because there is more water in apples, the fire must be maintained during frying.

4. If you don't like the taste of cinnamon, you can skip it.
