Tips:
1. The sweet crispy dough can be refrigerated by simply kneading it into a dough. If it is kneaded too much, the dough will be hard and the taste is not good.
2. Unsalted butter does not need to be softened, just take it out of the refrigerator and cut into small pieces.
3. Filter the custard water so that the matcha powder has no large particles and has a better taste. Stir it evenly before pouring it into the mold to avoid sinking.
4. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and roll it out to a circle that is a little larger than the top mouth of the mold with the largest diameter.
5. The oven has a capacity of 32 liters, and the grill is set on 4 levels. Please adjust the baking time and temperature appropriately according to the actual situation.
6. The amount of sugar is not too much and it will not be very sweet. You can increase or decrease the amount of sugar and reduce the amount of matcha.
7. Choose apples that are not particularly watery and crisp, and the weight of the apple is the weight before processing.
8. The pie crust will be thinner, please handle it carefully. It is better to wrap it with plastic wrap and roll it out. It is recommended to use a live-bottom pie plate.
