How to make apple pie

Making pie crust

Mix together white sugar, 175g flour, 120g butter and a pinch of salt . The butter is still cold, so you can use 2 forks to mix the dough until it crumbles.

Transfer the dough to a flat surface covered with a layer of flour, quickly knead the dough for 1-2 minutes so that the dough is smooth . You spread the dough into a round ball and place it in a bowl, cover the bowl with food film, and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 1 to 1 and a half hours .

Roll the dough

Take 2/3 of the round dough, roll the dough thinly. You should cover a layer of flour under the rolling surface as well as the rolling pin to avoid sticking and cracking.

Put the rolled dough into the mold , gently rub so that the dough covers the cake mold. Use scissors to cut away the excess dough, here you remember to leave 1-2cm of dough to fold to make the edges of the cake.
