Apple pie with honey
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. This honey apple pie is easy to prepare at home. As I mentioned, it's a traditional dish of Jewish cuisine, and I made sure to prepare it properly, following all the canonical rules. The honey gives the dish a pleasant aroma and a delicate texture—you really must try it.

Step 1
1. Let's make a sponge starter – warm up half a cup of water and add 1 tablespoon of flour and the yeast. Mix and wait until bubbles appear, which means the yeast has activated. Now add all the liquid ingredients and mix. Then add all the dry ingredients, except for the topping and apples. Mix and let the dough rise for an hour in a warm place. Then knead it down and let it sit for another hour.

2. Knead the dough once again, roll it out and form a flat layer. Now, braid a large braid in a circular shape, remembering to insert small pieces of peeled apple into the dough. You can either add apples into the dough or attach small pieces at the seams—whichever you prefer. Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with your chosen topping.

3. Once the braid is formed, let it rise for half an hour in the oven at 130 degrees. Then increase the temperature to 200 degrees and bake for about an hour, until you get a nice golden-brown crust!
