Mock McDonald's Apple Pie
- 1 Apple (any type)
- 2 tbsp Margarine or butter
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (Pokka lemon 100)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tbsp Katakuriko or cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- 4 sheets Frozen puff pastry
- 1 egg Egg yolk
- I used these frozen puff pastry.
- I took them out of the freezer and let them thaw out.
- Peel the apple and slice into 5 mm wedges.
- They don't have to be of a perfectly uniform thickness.
- Melt the butter in a pot.
- Add the apples to the pot and cook until softened, about 15 minutes.
- I prefer them to retain a little crunch, so I try not to overcook them.
- Once the apples are cooked to your liking, add the ingredients, plus katakuriko and water.
- If it seems like there is too much water, boil some off.
- Once it is done cooking, let cool.
- When the filling is done, take a baking sheet out of the oven, and preheat the oven to 210C.
- Butter the pie pan.
- Use 2 sheets to cover the pie pan.
- Press with your fingers to blend and cover any gaps in the sides with the leftover dough.
- Cut off the excess.
- Add the filling.
- Then, cut the remaining sheets into long, thin strips and lay on top as shown in the picture.
- When you have placed all the vertical strips, brush with a beaten egg.
- Then place the horizontal strips and brush with the egg again.
- Bake at 210C for 7-8 minutes and then at 190C for 6-8 minutes.
- (Check the directions on the puff pastry package).
- Keep an eye on the color of the crust and adjust the baking time as necessary.
