Apple Pie

Place paper towels on a baking sheet. Quarter the apples, core them, peel, and slice into pieces about 5 mm thick, then arrange evenly on the baking sheet. Place paper towels over the apples and set aside.

For the dough, beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until combined. Crack in the whole egg and the yolk (reserve the egg white for later brushing on the pie).

Then add the flour in thirds until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 45 minutes.
