French Apple Pie

Состав / Ингредиенты:

• Flour 150 Grams
• Butter 75 Grams
• Egg yolk (2 yolks for the dough and 2 for the cream) 4 Pieces
• Lemon (only the zest is needed, can be substituted with an orange) 1 Piece
• Sugar (1 tbsp for the dough, 1 for the cream) 2 Tbsp
• Apples 2-3 Pieces
• Heavy cream 2 Tbsp
• Heavy cream 2 Tbsp
• Cinnamon 1/2 Teaspoon

	1. In a large bowl, cut the butter into pieces, sift the flour, add two egg yolks, a tablespoon of sugar, and the grated zest of half a lemon.
	2. Mix the ingredients for the dough using a mixer.
	3. From the resulting crumb mixture, knead the dough by hand.
	4. In a baking dish lined with Teflon or silicone, place the dough and evenly stretch it across the bottom with your hands.
	5. Once the dough is evenly spread across the bottom and sides of the pan, prick it with a fork in several places (this will prevent the dough from rising during baking).
	6. Bake the pie crust in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
	7. Thoroughly wash the apples, peel them. Cut them into 8 wedges, remove the seeds and stems, then cut each wedge into 2-3 pieces.
	8. Begin placing the apple wedges on the prepared dough base, starting from the center and moving outward in a circular pattern (like a fan).
	9. Distribute the apple wedges evenly around the entire circle.
	10. Fill the entire surface of the baked crust with apples.
	11. In a bowl, place a spoonful of sugar, cinnamon, the zest of the remaining half of the lemon, and two egg yolks. Add the cream.
	12. Beat all the ingredients with a mixer until smooth.
	13. Pour the beaten mixture over the apple slices.
	14. Bake the pie in the oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. After baking, do not turn off the oven.
	15. Melt some butter and pour it over the finished product.
	16. Sprinkle the buttered pie with powdered sugar and place it in the warm oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the sugar.
	17. Your French apple pie is ready! Enjoy your meal!
