📋 Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the shortcrust pastry: mix the flour with salt in a bowl. Add the cold butter cut into cubes and work it with your fingers until you get a sandy mixture. Add the beaten egg and 2-3 tablespoons of cold water. Form a ball without overworking, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes.

2. 2

   While the dough rests, peel the apples, core and cut them into thin slices. In a bowl, mix with the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Let macerate 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to get a circle about 3mm thick. Line a 22-24 cm springform tart pan. Prick the base with a fork.

4. 4

   Bake the base blind (with parchment paper and pie weights on top) for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake 5 more minutes until lightly golden.

5. 5

   Drain the juice released by the apples. Place the slices in concentric circles on the baked base, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon on top.

6. 6

   Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes until the apples are tender and golden.

7. 7

   Heat 2 tablespoons of apricot jam with a little water and brush the pie fresh out of the oven to give it shine.

8. 8

   Let cool completely before unmolding and serving.
