  1.After softening the butter, add fine sugar;

• 

  2.Stir the butter and granulated sugar until evenly mixed;

• 

  3.Add flour, knead, stir, and knead into coarse particles;

• 

  4.Add 60g of water and stir while adding.Depending on the water absorption of the flour, the water added will be slightly different;

• 

  5.Knead into a smooth dough, cover it with plastic wrap in a basin and set aside;

• 

  6.Start making the fillings.Apples are about 300g.For normal-sized apples, 1.5 is enough.Wash, peel, and cut into small pieces for later use;

• 

  7. Cut the apple into small pieces, put an appropriate amount of butter in a non-stick pan, wait until the oil melts, add the apple pieces and stir-fry;

• 

  8. Add a tablespoon of sugar during the stir-fry process, sweet You can decide the degree by yourself, I added 50g, the sweetness is just right;
  Squeeze an appropriate amount of lemon juice;
  Add a little water;
  After watching the apples change color, add a tablespoon of starch and stir-fry until thick ;

• 

  9. Serve out and set aside;

• 

  10.The next step is to make the pie crust and weave it.Here’s the process~ Divide the dough in a ratio of 2:1, use the larger part as the cake base and the smaller part as the braided grid.Roll out the large dough and spread it on the pie plate.After sorting, remove the excess; use a fork to poke holes in the bottom;

• 11. Evenly spread the prepared apple filling on the pie crust;

• 

  12.The next step is to weave the grid.Roll out the remaining dough into a round slightly larger than the pie plate.Cut the pie crust into several long strips;

• 

  13.Mesh the surface.There are many ways to weave a grid.I think the most convenient one is to arrange the required pie strips vertically first, and then insert the horizontal ones one by one.If you have any questions about grid weaving, I can open another recipe about grid weaving~

• 14. Beat the eggs evenly, apply a layer of egg liquid evenly on the surface of the pie, and put it in the preheated oven; the preheating temperature is 200 degrees.After placing the pie, bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes, then turn to 170 degrees and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.Just watch the skin for golden color~
  
  Isn’t the baked apple pie very tempting? Full of butter and apple aroma~~~~
