1-2 tbsp ice cold water
To do:

2) Wrap the dough with a piece of cling foil and put into fridge for 20-30 minutes.
3) Roll the pastry flat about 5mm thick and cut out a round piece to put into the pie pan and tuck in neatly.
4) Fill in the apple filling into the pie case. Again, roll out a piece of pastry into 5mm thick and cut into 1cm width strips for the pie cover.
5) Bake in a preheated oven at 200c for 20 minutes
Below is the method of pleating the pie cover..
~Rolled the pastry into retangle and cut into long strips~
~~Lay two strips on a piece of plastic sheet, like a cross~
~Lay another two, one on top of the horizontal piece and one under the horizontal piece but lay in vertical line~
~Repeating the steps again with another two pieces~
~If you find that the pieces is blocking in the process, you can just simply fold up that piece~
~When it is finish pleated, just cut out a round shape with the pie tray and cover on top of the filled with apple filling pie case...brush the side of the pie case before putting on the cover~
~This is the look of my loose bottom pie tray.
~Thid is the end result of the pie case~
~Brush with egg mixture to give the shinning and even browning look when it is bake~

Hi, may I know the size of the pan? Can I make this into egg tart mould? Looking forward to you reply. Your apple pie looks lovely :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie,

Yes , you may make it in egg tart moulds, only it may be a bit tedious to do into small mould as egg tart moulds.
Anyway, no harm trying of course.
Do let me know how's your outcome.
Cheers n happy trying:)
