Meringue Apple Pie

Meringue Apple Pie

1. Prepare all the ingredients for the puff pastry, wrap 90g in butter, cut into small pieces, and put them in a fresh-keeping bag.

2. In addition to the butter, pour the other ingredients of the puff pastry into a large basin, and stir with chopsticks until there is no dry powder. Start making dough.

3. Move the dough to the silicone mat and start to knead. The dough is sticky at first and sticks to your hands. Do not add other materials at this time and continue to knead.

4. Knead until the dough is relatively delicate, the surface is smooth, and the hands are not sticky. The approximate kneading time is 15 minutes. Wrap it with plastic wrap, let it rest, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

5. Wrap 90g in butter, cut into small pieces and put in a fresh-keeping bag, roll out into a rectangular shape, and refrigerate in the refrigerator until it hardens and set aside.

6. Roll out the loosened dough into a large rectangle, about 3 times the size of butter, so that it can be easily wrapped in butter.

7. Wrap the refrigerated butter in the butter and place it in the middle of the large rectangular dough,

8. Fold up the left side sheet, then fold up the right side, press from the middle with your hand to exhaust the air inside, and press the upper and lower positions firmly to seal the seal.

9. Lay the noodles horizontally, sprinkle with dry powder, and start folding the quilt.

10. First of all, you must roll it into large pieces, try to be as thin as possible, and don't cause unevenness in pursuit of shape.

11. The 1/4 position on the left, fold it up.

12. Similarly, the position on the right 1/4 is also folded up, as shown in the figure!

13. Fold it in half to form a rectangular vertical strip. Similar to the method of folding a quilt.

14. Place it horizontally, wrap it in plastic wrap, and keep it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

15. Steps 9-14 are a process of folding the quilt, repeat the process of 9-14. A total of 3 times of folding the quilt steps are completed, put in the refrigerator and refrigerate.

16. Take out the refrigerated puff pastry noodles, roll them into large slices, and start making pastry desserts. What I made today is apple pie.

17. Prepare the ingredients for the pie filling. Here is an apple as an example. The filling can make a lot of pies.

18. Dice the apple,

19. Put 15g of butter for filling in the pot and heat it over low heat until it melts.

20. Pour in the diced apples and stir fry, then add white sugar and continue to stir fry evenly.

21. After the apple filling is juiced, add a little lemon juice and cook until the diced apples are soft.

22. 5g cornstarch, dissolve it with 20g water, slowly pour it into the pot, and stir evenly.

23. Stir until the apple filling becomes thicker, serve and let cool for later use.

24. According to the size of the pie mold, the puff pastry is cut into small pieces slightly larger than the pie mold.

25. Cover the puff pastry on the pie mold, arrange and shape, and gently press the edges with your hands.

26. Excess pie crusts will be disconnected, and the puff pastry in the pie mold will be sorted into pie crusts of appropriate size.

27. Make them one by one, all pies.

28. Use a fork to make a small hole in the bottom of the pie crust. Do it all.

29. Choose a piece of puff pastry, cut into long strips, and cut into strips.

30. Put the apple filling into small pie molds one by one,

31. The strip-shaped noodles made of puff pastry are placed on top of the pie and weave it, just like a flower basket, just put it up and down.

32. Press around and use the edge of the mold to cut off the excess strips of puff pastry.

33. A small puff pastry flower basket is ready, and the others are also ready.

34. I have made 6 of them here. About 1/3 of the filling was used. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees for 5 minutes.

35. 30g egg liquid, which is about half an egg, beat up and set aside. This is a foreign egg, the color is light, so I chose, most of the egg yolk, a small amount of egg white. If it is a dumb egg, you can use whole egg liquid directly.

36. Use a brush to apply a layer of egg wash on the surface of the pie to make it look better after baking.

37. Put it in the middle of the oven, heat up and down at 175 degrees, and bake for 15-20 minutes. Because the pie is relatively small, it doesn’t take too long

38. Observe the changes in the pie in the oven at any time. As the temperature rises, the puff pastry gradually becomes fluffy, and the pie filling heated in the middle also dances in a drum.

39. The pie crust will be more crispy after being baked and cooled.

40. Look at the apple filling inside, sweet and soft.

41. Meimeidi, do you want another one?

42. It’s not bad to have an apple pie during afternoon tea.

Tips:

1. After wrapping the butter, be sure to seal it tightly, otherwise the butter will leak out when you roll it out.
2. In the process of making puff pastry, remember to sprinkle dry powder every time you fold it.
