Three-dimensional flower apple pie (upgraded version)

Overview

I made a flower apple pie a few days ago and everyone liked it very much. Maybe I'm a perfectionist and think I can make it better. Today I made another version, with several optimizations. It feels good to share. Let’s talk about the optimization first. First, the flowers made this time are more three-dimensional and the finished product is more layered. Second, I added osmanthus sauce to the filling to improve the taste. The filling is more juicy and has the aroma of osmanthus. Third, I slightly lengthened the baking time. The color of the finished product was golden and attractive, and the crispiness of the pie crust was upgraded.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients required for pie crust: cake flour: 250g, butter: 100g, water: 80ml, sugar: 15g, salt: 1g, whole egg liquid (for brushing the surface): appropriate amount

   

2. 2 Ingredients required for pie filling: 2 apples (weigh before peeling and coreing, each one is about 400g), wash the apples and set aside. Butter: 20g, sugar: 30g, lemon juice: a few drops, osmanthus sauce: appropriate amount.

   

3. 3 Sift together the flour and salt.

   

4. 4 Cut the butter for the pie crust into small pieces. The butter can be thawed slightly after taking it out of the refrigerator, but it does not need to be completely softened. Add butter to sifted flour.

   

5. 5 Knead the mixture with your hands until it resembles almond meal.

   

6. 6 Add the sugar for the pie crust and continue kneading until even.

   

7. 7 Add water to the mixed flour and knead into a smooth dough. Place in the refrigerator to rest for 30 minutes.

   

8. 8 At this point we’re going to make the pie filling. Peel, core and cut the apple into small pieces.

   

9. 9 Place the butter for the pie filling in a pot and heat over medium-low heat until melted.

   

10. 10 Pour in the apple chunks and stir-fry over medium-low heat.

    

11. 11 Fry the apples for a while until the color becomes slightly darker, add the sugar used for the pie filling, and continue to stir-fry over medium-low heat.

    

12. 12 Boil in the precipitated water for a short while until the apple pieces become soft. Pour in the water starch, stir-fry evenly and turn off the heat.

    

13. 13 Add a few drops of lemon juice and mix well.

    

14. 14 Take out the apple filling and let it cool, add an appropriate amount of osmanthus sauce and mix well and set aside.

    

15. 15 Take the relaxed dough out of the refrigerator, divide it into two parts, and roll one part into a dough slightly larger than the pie plate (if the dough is too sticky, sprinkle some flour on the rolling pin and chopping board to prevent sticking). The thickness of the dough is about 0.3CM. Coat the pie plate with a little corn oil to prevent it from sticking. Fill the pie plate with dough, compact the bottom and sides, and trim off the excess dough.

    

16. 16 Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the pie crust to prevent the bottom from bulging.

    

17. 17 Roll out the other piece of dough into a thin sheet and use a cookie cutter to cut out various patterns.

    

18. 18 Fill with apple filling to make it full.

    

19. 19 Cover the pressed flowers on top of the apple filling.

    

20. 20 Let the finished apple pie rest for 20 minutes, preheat the oven to 180 degrees, and brush the surface of the pie with egg wash.

    

21. 21 Place in the middle rack of the oven at 180 degrees for 40 minutes, until the surface is golden brown. Let cool, unmold, cut into pieces and serve.

    

22. 22 I read a picture book about delicious food, "Around the World Making Apple Pie," in which the protagonist wanted to make an apple pie, but unfortunately the store owner went fishing.

    

23. 23 What should I do if I can’t buy materials?

    

24. 24 Out of his persistent pursuit of apple pie, the little protagonist decided to travel around the world to find the best raw materials in the world and make the perfect apple pie.

    

25. 25 This is how a casual trip begins.

    

26. 26 During the somewhat thrilling journey, the little protagonist learned the languages of many countries and also experienced the customs and customs of foreign countries.

    

27. 27 More importantly, after all the hard work, she finally bought flour from Italy, eggs from French hens, cinnamon powder from Sri Lanka, milk from British cows, and apples from Vermont in the United States...

    

28. 28 It seems that advocating perfection is the tireless pursuit of every food lover, and I am no exception.
