Apple Pie
- 1/2 Pastry
- 1 dash Beaten egg
- 1 Apricot jam
- 2 Apple
- 30 grams Sugar
- 20 grams Butter (softened)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Brandy
- 1 Cinnamon
- 15 cmx1 cm thick Sponge cake or castella cake
- Refer toand make the pastry, or use a frozen puff pastry.
- Make the filling: Peel the apple and cut into 8 pieces.
- Then cut into 5 pieces.
- Put the apple, sugar and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl, and mix lightly with a spatula.
- Cover with plastic wrap and microwave at 500w 3 minutes for 3 times.
- Mix with a spatula after every 3 minutes.
- The apple will shrink and soften.
- Let cool for 30 minutes.
- Discard the liquid from the apples.
- Add melted butter, brandy and cinnamon to taste.
- Cut 1/3 of the pastry and roll to a 3mm thickness.
- Make sure the pastry is larger than the pie pan.
- (Lightly coat the pie pan with oil.)
- Place the pastry on the pie pan, and set the sponge cake.
- (The sponge cake does not need to be a pretty round shape.
- You can use pieces of broken castella cake.)
- Set the filling.
- Try to make it as flat as possible.
- Take some pastry and roll it 3mm thick and slightly longer than the pie pan.
- Cut into 1cm strips.
- Lay the strips in a lattice.
- Lay them at a slant for a cute pattern.
- Brush the beaten egg onto the edges as glue.
- When done, press the edges with a fork, and cut off the excess pastry.
- Brush the beaten egg onto the pastry.
- Cut the leftover pasty into leaf-shapes to decorate the edges.
- Draw the leaf veins with a knife for decoration.
- Put the leaves on the edge, and brush with the beaten egg again.
- Bake for about 45 minutes at 190C.
- When the pie is baked, brush apricot jam on with a pastry brush.
- It's done.
- It is also delicious to add raisins to the filling.
- This is the cut side.
- I added ten or more dashes from a small bottle of cinnamon.
