flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber.

Make a pie crust by mixing 125 g of double zero flour with 100 g of cold butter, massaging the butter into the flour without kneading.

Add 2 tbsp of water to the flour and butter mixture and bring it together.

Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Peel and core the apples, then dress them with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of cling film, sprinkling with flour to prevent sticking.

Poke holes in the rolled-out dough to allow air to escape while baking.

Apply an egg wash to the pie crust for a golden finish.

Bake in the oven at 200°C for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180°C and bake for another 20 minutes.
