Heart-Shaped Apple Pie
- 1 all Apple filling
- 4 sheets Frozen puff pastry
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tbsp Water
- Allow the frozen puff pastry to return to room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Check the size of your baking tray and draw a large heart that would fit inside it on parchment paper.
- Cut it out.
- Join the 2 puff pastry sheets together and stretch them out so theyre big enough to cover your heart.
- Roll them out further with a rolling pin.
- Lay your heart over the pastry and cut around it to make a pastry heart.
- It should look like this when cut.
- Transfer the heart onto a sheet of parchment paper.
- Lightly roll out the remaining 2 sheets of puff pastry and cut into 1 cm wide strips.
- Use some of these strips to frame your pastry heart.
- Securely fix the sides together.
- Add plenty of the cooled apple filling to the pie within the edges we created in step 7.
- Shape the filling like a mountain so that the center is higher.
- This is how the pie should look at this point.
- The filling is really stuffed in there, right to the edges.
- Arrange the remaining strips of puff pastry on top of the pie.
- This may take a little effort but try to arrange the strips into a lattice pattern going over and under.
- It might take some time but it looks cuter, right?
- Line the edges of the pie with strips of pastry again.
- Cut away any pieces of pastry that are sticking out and press the two sets of edges together.
- Just one more thing!
- Combine the ingredients marked with and brush them all over the pie.
- Allow the pie to cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Once cooled completely, cook the pie in the oven as directed by the instructions on the frozen puff pastry packet to finish!
- Check to see if the pie is done by seeing if the pastry has edxpanded.
- If not, cook it for a bit longer.
- If you want to make a pie in the standard circle shape, refer to, "My Much Loved Apple Pie".
