Instructions

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for the dough and the filling. Let’s get started!

Step 2
In a large bowl, combine warm milk (250 ml), melted butter (50 g), salt (½ tsp), sugar (3 tbsp), fresh yeast (15 g), one whole egg, and one yolk. Set the egg white aside for now—you will need it to brush the pie. Mix thoroughly until everything dissolves and comes together.

Step 3
Gradually add flour; when the dough is well moistened, transfer it to the work surface and knead the ball for several minutes.

Step 4
Return the dough to the bowl.

Step 5
Cover tightly with cling film or plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.

Step 6
Within an hour, the dough should rise and roughly double or triple in size.

Step 7
Deflate it with your hands. Take it out of the bowl and knead it briefly on the table so all the air escapes.

Step 8
Divide the dough into two unequal parts: roll out the larger one (dough thickness 1 cm) and line a baking sheet with it (mine is 30×25 cm), and set the smaller piece aside for decorating the pie. I use siliconized parchment paper—it doesn’t stick to the dough and has worked well for me.

Step 9
Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut into small cubes. In a small bowl, mix the starch, sugar, and cinnamon. If you don’t mix the starch with the sugar first, it will be very hard to combine with the apples. Why add starch at all? Starch is what keeps the apple juice from running out during baking; it actually stabilizes it and makes the filling soft and tender.

Step 10
Sprinkle the apples and mix well so that the starch, sugar, and cinnamon evenly coat every piece of apple.

Step 11
Distribute the apples over the dough.

Step 12
Roll out the remaining piece of dough thinly, cut it into strips, and make a lattice.

Step 13
I still had a little dough left, so I made small flowers and arranged them on the pie lattice. Tuck the ends of the strips inside the pie. Cover the pie with a towel and leave it for 20 minutes to rise. Meanwhile, you can turn the oven on to 180 degrees.

Step 14
Brush the whole pie generously with egg white—it will give the baked goods a beautiful shine.

Step 15
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C on the middle rack for 35–40 minutes.

Step 16
Cool the pie completely, remove the parchment, and enjoy! 🍰✨ Мой император, перевод готов! Если нужно ещё что-то перевести — Frozaliya всегда к Вашим услугам! 💫
