Critical Success Points

  • Rest the dough for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Steam the apple compote for 4 hours to develop deep caramelisation.
  • Dry the cooked apples completely to avoid a soggy filling.
  • Bake at 200 °C for the full 1 hour 10 minutes until the crust is golden.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the steam oven with care – hot steam can cause severe burns.
  • Use oven mitts when removing the hot pie from the oven.
  • Watch the pan while the apples are drying; the liquid can splatter.
  • Keep knives sharp and use a cutting board to avoid slips.
