Wash the apples, remove seeds and peel. Slice the apples into medium-thick slices. There is no need to cut thinly so that the apple slices retain their shape when preparing the filling. Sprinkle the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.

Step 3

Step 3
Melt butter in a frying pan, add sugar, stir.

Step 4

After 5-7 minutes, add honey and stir. Cook the mixture for another 3-4 minutes until a caramel color appears, remembering to stir so that the mixture does not burn.

Step 6

Cook the apples over medium heat, carefully turning them occasionally. The apples should become slightly soft but retain their shape. At the end of cooking, sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and stir. Remove the pan from the heat to allow the filling to cool.

Meanwhile, the filling has cooled a little and the apples have been soaked in caramel syrup.

Step 15

Step 15
Place the filling along with the syrup into the mold. The mold does not need to be greased beforehand, since the filling is wet and the dough contains a sufficient amount of oil. If you have a frying pan in which you can bake in the oven, you can prepare the filling in it and bake the pie in it.

Step 16

Place the dough on top of the filling and smooth it out.
