Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Mix flour, sugar, salt, butter (softened and diced) evenly. Shape into bread crumbs with your hands.

   

2. 2 Pour in the egg mixture evenly. Knead into dough with your hands. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

   

3. 3 Dice the apples and cook in a pot until thick (if you like the taste sweeter, you can add some sugar).

   

4. 4 Sprinkle some flour on the bottom before rolling out the pie crust. The pie crust is relatively wet and will stick to the bottom easily. A little caution is needed here. I made a 7-inch pie crust, and rolled it out until it was about 4cm larger than the mold.

   

5. 5 Put it into the mold and press it around. Use a rolling pin to roll out the excess pie crust. Poke some air holes in the bottom.

   

6. 6 Pour the cooked diced apples into the pie plate, slice the other apple and place them neatly. Put in the oven at 190 degrees for about 40 minutes.
