Equipment
- Pie pan
- Baking beans
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 5 red apples
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 lemon (juice)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 4 oz flour
- 4 oz butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp water
- 10 fl oz milk
- 3 fl oz heavy cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 2 oz butter
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into thin slices. Toss the apple slices with the cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice, and set aside.
- Knead all the ingredients into a dough and shape it into a ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Flour your work surface and roll out the dough. Generously coat your pie pan with butter and put the dough inside. Cut off any dough hanging over the edges, poke holes all over the floor of the crust with a fork, and place a large sheet of parchment paper over the pie. Pour dry legumes or beans into the pan until completely filled. Put the pan in the oven and bake at 340°F for 20 minutes.
- Heat the milk, cream, egg yolks, sugar, and corn starch in a saucepan over a low heat and stir constantly. When the cream begins to thicken, remove the pot from the heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract. Remove the legumes and the parchment paper from the pre-baked pie crust, pour the cream inside, and smooth out the top.
- Now arrange the apples over the pudding cream in the design shown in the video.
- Bake the pie for 20 minutes at 350°F.
