Description

This International-style Egg Pie is a delightful fusion of tender yeast dough and a rich, spiced apple filling. The crust is soft and slightly sweet, braided elegantly around a center of tender apples, cinnamon, mace, and tart currants. It offers a comforting balance of textures, with the flaky pastry contrasting against the juicy fruit. Perfect for a cozy afternoon tea or as a unique dessert for family gatherings. The warm spices provide a cozy aroma that fills the kitchen, making this an inviting treat for any season. Simple ingredients come together to create a sophisticated yet home-style experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. Add apples to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes until tender.
  4. Stir in sugar, citrus peel, cinnamon, mace, and currants into the apple mixture.
  5. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine water and butter.
  7. Heat the liquid on low flame until it reaches 120&# 194;°F.
  8. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  9. Gradually add the warm liquid to the dry ingredients.
  10. Beat the mixture for 2 minutes until smooth.
  11. Beat in the egg, citrus peel, and 3/4 cup of flour.
  12. Using a mixer, beat the dough for another 2 minutes.
  13. Stir in the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
  14. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  15. Grease two baking sheets.
  16. Turn dough onto a well-floured work surface and roll it out to a 14x12 inch rectangle.
  17. Place the rolled dough on one of the prepared baking sheets.
  18. Spread half of the apple filling lengthwise down the center of the dough.
  19. Starting about 3/4 inch from the filling, cut 1-inch wide strips diagonally from the filling to the edges of the dough.
  20. Weave the strips over the filling to create a braided pattern.
  21. Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  22. Bake according to package instructions or until golden brown.
