Apple Pie

Instructions

  In a large bowl, mix the plain flour, butter, egg, and a pinch of salt, then knead into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film, place it in the refrigerator, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  Meanwhile, prepare the apple filling: Wash the apples, remove the cores, and slice them into thin wedges, leaving the skin on. Transfer the sliced apples to a large bowl, add granulated sugar, pudding powder, cinnamon, and lemon juice, then mix everything together.

  Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator, remove the film, place it in the center of the prepared baking paper, and roll it out with a rolling pin into a circular sheet about 3–4 mm thick. Transfer the rolled dough, along with the baking paper, into the pie dish.

  Layer the prepared apple filling in the center of the dough in the dish, spread it over the entire surface of the dish, and then fold a few centimeters of the dough edge over it.
