A fully loaded apple pie that includes a pâte brisée crust, marzipan filling, and a delicious apple sauce. It has many steps, but you can simplify it by buying pre-made components. Perfectly baked and topped with the sweet aroma of apples and marzipan.
1: In a food processor, combine flour, salt, and cubed butter. Process until combined and crumbly.
2: While the motor is running, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until a rough dough forms.
3: Transfer the dough to a work surface, split into two parts, wrap each in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4: In another food processor, combine ground almond and powdered sugar. Mix until combined, then add egg white and mix until a paste forms.
5: Refrigerate the marzipan until ready to use.
6: In a saucepan, combine diced granny smith apples, Macintosh apple, brown sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and mix to avoid sticking.
7: Once apples are soft, mash and cook down until thick. Remove from heat and let cool.
8: Preheat oven to 350°F.
9: Spread the pie dough evenly in a 9-10 inch round pie dish, poke holes with a fork, and bake for 6-7 minutes.
10: Remove from the oven and spread marzipan, then layer with applesauce.
11: Arrange apple slices on top, brush with egg yolk, sprinkle with sugar and ground almond.
12: Bake for 40 minutes or until golden on top.
