Preparing the Apple Pie Apple Filling

1. We peel and core the apples. We are placing them in a large bowl cut into segments of about 2 cm. We don’t need to cut them too thin.
2. Add the lemon juice to prevent the apple from rusting. As much as possible and add.
3. Add the sugar and cinnamon to the bowl and mix well so that it is impregnated in all the apple segments. Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes.
4. Drain the juice that the apples may have released and add the cornstarch and the melted butter. We mix well.
5. We place half of the shortcrust pastry between two kitchen towels or on a floured surface.
6. We stretch it with a roller giving it a rounded shape, so that it protrudes about 4 or 5 cm. Regarding the diameter of the mold that we are going to use.
7. We grease the ovenproof pan and line it with half of the shortcrust we have.

2. We seal the entire perimeter of the cake by rolling the excesses of the two masses, the upper and the lower.
3. We make some cuts that will serve as ventilation of the cake during baking.
4. We paint the cake with beaten egg and sprinkle sugar over its entire surface.
5. With the oven previously hot, we bake at 180º C with heat up and down, without fan, for 1 hour.
6. When we see the surface of the cake begin to brown, we cover it with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning.
7. Let the cake cool on a rack for about 2 hours before consuming it.
