Cake in 5 minutes! The famous German apple pie that melts in your mouth! Simple and tasty

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and nutmeg; toss to coat.

Let the apple mixture sit for 15 minutes to release juices.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and cornstarch.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in water gradually until the dough comes together.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and fit it into a pie pan.

Fill the crust with the apple mixture, mounding it slightly in the center.

Dot the filling with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar.

Cover with a top crust, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam.

Beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a golden finish.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden and apples are tender.

Cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
