Step 1

Step 1
How to make the simplest apple pie in the oven? Prepare your food. Remove the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator in advance — the dough will rise better with warm ingredients. Take high-quality butter, without milk fat substitutes; the taste of the finished pie will depend on its taste. The number of apples may vary depending on their size and the diameter of the mold.

Step 3
Beat the egg into a bowl and start beating it with a mixer, first at low speed, then increase the speed. While beating, add sugar, vanillin and salt in portions. Donʼt be afraid of salt in sweet baked goods — it will act as a flavor enhancer. Instead of vanillin, vanilla sugar is suitable.

Take a suitable baking pan, I have a springform pan with a diameter of 20cm. Line the bottom and sides of the pan with baking paper to prevent the cake from sticking. Pour the dough into the mold. Place apple slices on top. The more you put in, the juicier the pie will be.
