Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for making the dough. The butter should be well chilled, as should the water.

Step 2
Place all the flour into the blender bowl, add salt and ice-cold butter cut into pieces. Turn on the device. The result should be very fine crumbs with butter. Alternatively, if using a blender is inconvenient, you can quickly rub the flour with the ice-cold butter by hand.

Step 4
Add icy water in small portions while kneading the dough. The dough should ultimately be soft and non-sticky, so it's difficult to specify the exact amount of water.

Step 6
Carefully separate one egg into yolk and white, placing them into two different small bowls. Divide the dough into two parts, one being 2/3 and the other 1/3 of the total. Roll out the larger portion of the dough into a flat sheet and place it into a baking pan, forming edges about 4 cm high. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and brush it with the beaten egg white.

Roll out the second part of the dough into a thin layer and cut it into strips 1.5 cm wide. Place the dough strips over the apples, weaving them together as shown in the photo. Brush the woven strips with beaten egg yolk. Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40–45 minutes.
