Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Make the pie crust first. After the butter has softened (take it out from the refrigerator and place it in a greenhouse above 20 degrees for 10 minutes, then use chopsticks to penetrate it easily, do not let it turn into liquid.), pour in the low-gluten flour and sugar, and knead the butter and flour with your hands until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Add water to the evenly kneaded flour and knead it into a slightly smooth dough.

   

2. 2 Place the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

   

3. 3 To make the pie filling: Peel, core and weigh the apples, then cut into small cubes. After the pot is hot, add butter and lower heat to melt the butter. Pour in diced fruit, sugar, lemon juice, salt and stir-fry. The diced fruit will exude water, so cook slowly over low heat until the diced fruit becomes soft. Pour the water starch into the pot and stir-fry until the filling becomes thick. Set aside to cool.

   

4. 4 Lightly flour the cutting board and divide the dough into two parts at a ratio of 2:1. Use a rolling pin to roll the larger portion into thin slices. The size is slightly larger than the bottom of the pie plate. Spread the rolled out pie crust on the pie plate so that the pie crust is close to the pie plate and cut off the excess pie crust. Use a fork to poke some small holes in the bottom of the pie crust to prevent the bottom from rising when baking.

   

5. 5 Fill pie plate with pie filling. (At this time, you can preheat the oven to 200 degrees for 8 minutes)

   

6. 6 Roll out the smaller piece of pie dough into thin slices and cut into small long strips of dough with a knife. Use small strips of dough to create a grid on the surface of the pie dish. Trim off any excess pie crust from the edge of the plate. Brush the surface of the grid with a layer of egg wash and place the pie plate in the preheated oven.

   

7. 7 Bake at 200 degrees for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 175 degrees and bake for 25 minutes until the surface is slightly golden.
