Pie Crust
- a little less than 1/2 cup cup butter softened cut in cube packed or 100g
- 1 and 1/3 cup flour 200g

- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar if you are making a sweet recipe
For the filling
- 1/2 cup apple sauce unsweetened
- 4 apples

Pie Crust
In a small bowl, cream the butter. Add the salt.
Add in the beaten egg. Mix well.
In a bigger bowl, make a well with the flour and put the egg/butter mix in the middle.
Fold in the flour to incorporate the mixture and flour. Using a spatula, fold the flour and pretend to cut in the middle with the tip of your spatula to incorporate the flour.
Repeat this gesture until your dough is smooth. Set aside in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven at 300F. Take the dough about 10 minutes before your need it.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough thinly but thick enough so it does not break and place it in the individual baking rings or one big mold.
For the filling
Using a spoon, spread evenly the apple sauce.
Peel and cut thinly the apple in slices and place them starting from the border.
Sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 220C or until golden.
