Instructions
Making Apple Pie with Puff Pastry can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut one sheet to fit the bottom of your pie dish.
3. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and a pinch of salt. Toss until well coated.
4. Assemble the Pie: Place the apple mixture into the pastry-lined pie dish. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter.
5. Cover the Filling: Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the apples. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers.
6. Vent the Pie: Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
7. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush beaten egg over the pastry for a beautiful golden color.
8. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
