Instructions

1. Preparing the dough

   In a deep bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt, then add the cold butter cubes and rub them with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Chilling the dough

   Gradually add the ice water and bring the dough together without over-kneading, then divide it into two portions (two-thirds and one-third), wrap both in plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator. · 30 min
3. Preparing the filling

   In another bowl, mix the apple slices with the sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and lemon juice until thoroughly combined.
4. Rolling the base

   Roll out the larger portion of dough on a floured surface, transfer it into the pie dish, press the edges firmly, and prick the base with a fork.
5. Decorating the pie

   Spread the apple filling evenly inside the dish, then roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to form a lattice pattern over the pie, and brush the top with the beaten egg yolk.
6. Baking

   Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 190°C until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. · 45 min
