Apple Pie


Using ready-made puff pastry sheets, this apple pie can be made under half an hour. All you need are:

Ingredients (quantity depends on pie size):
1. 2 large apples (I have used Pink Lady)
2. Half a lemon's juice
3. Half cup caster sugar
4. 20g unsalted butter
5. 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
6. Egg for egg wash

Steps:
*Preheat oven to 200 degree.
1. Peel and slice apples into thin slices. Immediately put the sliced apples into a bowl with half a lemon's juice and 1 tablespoon sugar, to avoid apple oxidizing.
2. In a pan, melt 20g butter and half a cup of sugar.
3. When the caramel turns light brown, chuck in all the apple slices and cinnamon. Done when the apples slightly soften. Cool the apple down slightly.
4. Get the pie pan ready, line with pastry. Pour in the slightly cooled apples. Cut a second pastry sheet into strips. Weave them. Fold in the side. Egg wash the top of the pastry.
5. Stick the pie in the oven, till the pastry browns. The time it takes depend on the pie size - a medium pie takes around 15-20 minutes.
