3. Roll Out the Dough
- Take one dough disk from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface into a circle large enough for your pie dish.
- Gently place it into the dish, pressing it into the edges.
- Trim any excess dough.
4. Fill the Pie
- Pour the apple mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Dot the top with small pieces of butter—this adds richness and helps create that “melt-in-your-mouth” texture.
5. Add the Top Crust
- Roll out the second dough disk and place it over the apples.
- Seal the edges by pressing them together and crimping with your fingers or a fork.
- Cut small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
👉 For a decorative touch, you can create a lattice crust instead.
6. Brush and Bake
- Beat the egg with milk and brush it over the top crust for a golden finish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 50–60 minutes.
👉 The pie is ready when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the slits.
7. Cool Before Serving
- Let the pie cool for at least 1–2 hours before slicing.
- This allows the filling to set and makes slicing easier.
🍽️ Serving Tips
Serve warm with:
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
- A drizzle of caramel sauce
- Or simply enjoy it on its own for a pure, classic experience
💡 Pro Tips for a Melt-in-Your-Mouth Texture
- Use a mix of apple varieties (like Granny Smith + Fuji) for balanced flavor.
- Slice apples thinly so they soften perfectly while baking.
- Don’t skip the resting time after baking—it enhances texture and flavor.
- Keep your butter cold when making the crust for maximum flakiness.
