It's not just pizza that can have a thin crust. Caroline, Alain Bergeron's colleague (Quality Alain), offers a lighter version of apple pie which is just as delicious.

Pie

Ingredients

  • 455 ml (250 g) flour

  • 145 ml (125 g) softened butter

  • 1 egg

  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) milk or liquid cream

  • 2 large Honeycrisp H77 apples

  • 30 ml (2 tbsp.) H77 maple syrup

Preparation

  • Incorporate the softened butter into the flour until you obtain a sandy texture.

  • Add the egg and milk, then knead until the dough is smooth and soft.

  • Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  • Roll out the dough (fairly thin) on a lightly floured work surface.

  • Cut the apples into thin, equal slices and arrange them in a rosette on the dough.

  • Place in the oven at 190 or 200°C (370 or 390°F) and cook for 10 minutes.

  • Remove the dough from the oven and carefully pour the maple syrup over the apples and brush them with a brush.

  • Bake again for 30 to 45 minutes until the apples are caramelized and browned.
