- * Note: If you would like a vanilla flavor to the apples, simply split a piece of vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the sugar. Then add in the flavored sugar to the apples. If vanilla bean is not available, add in about 1 tsp. of vanilla extract to the pan immediately after the apples turn transparent in cooking.
- For the Apple Filling: Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in the apples and stir gently to coat the apples proportionately with the melted butter. Sprinkle the apples with the sugar and cook till the apples become semi-translucent/soft, but still hold their shape, 10 to 12 min, stirring occasionally. If too much liquid remains in the pan, remove the apples and continue cooking the liquid till it has reduced to a syrup. Return the apples to the pan and let cold completely.
- For the Pie Crust: Place the flour and salt in the middle of a flat surface. Make a well in the flour mix. Put the butter in the well. With a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mix. Scoop the loose flour from the sides and quickly work it into the butter. Continue this process till the mix becomes large pea-size lumps. This should take about a minute.
- Sprinkle 4 Tbsp. of chilled water over the flour mix. Using your fingertips, pat and press the dough together into a ball. If the dough is still dry and loose, add in an additional Tbsp. or possibly two of chilled water. Continue patting and pressing the dough till you can mold it into a disk, about 6 inches in diameter. Divide the dough in half, form each half into a disk and wrap with plastic. Chill at least 1 hour.
- Once the dough has chilled, lightly flour a flat surface and a rolling pin. Take 1 disk of dough out of the refrigerator to make the bottom crust. Beginning from the center of the disk, roll out the dough to the edges to make a circle, slightly larger than a 9-inch pie pan and about 1/8-inch thick. Roll only in one direction. Keep rotating the circle as you roll, so it doesn't stick to the flat surface.
- Fold the dough in half and transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan. Unfold the circle and press it into the pan with your fingers and allow the dough to hang over the pie pan. Refrigeratethe pan in the refrigerator while you roll out the top dough. For the top dough, repeat the same rolling process.
- For Assembly: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour the apple filling into the bottom crust, spreading proportionately in the pan. Roll the top dough around the rolling pin and then unroll it over the filling, pressing the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Use a wet fork to crimp the rim of the pie. Use the tines of a fork to poke some holes in the top crust for ventilation.
- Optional decoration: To make a rose, use 2 (2-inch square) pcs of leftover dough. Slit a 1/2-inch cross in the middle of each square. Take one square and place it on top of the other but slide it to the left so the corners don't match. Gently tuck the corners under to open the slit which you made in the middle of each square. As the slits open, you will see the dough transform into a rose. Cut out leaves with the remaining dough, making shallow slits for the veins with a knife. Glaze with the egg yolk mix and bake the pie.
- Beat the egg yolk and lowfat milk and brush over the top of the pie to make a shiny glazed finish. Set the pie pan on a baking sheet and bake till the top crust is golden brown, about 65 to 70 min. Let the pie cold a little before serving.
