Ingredients

1 pie crust dough (use 1/2 my pie crust recipe on my blog)
2 medium apples
3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoon (22g) brown sugar
2 teaspoons (5g) ground cinnamon
1 egg yolk, beaten

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF/175ºC. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Wash then cut the apple into halves, remove seeds from the core of apples. Cut some strips on the top using a sharp knife (it should be 2-3 strips for small apples and 3-4 strips for medium apples
On a well-floured surface, roll pie crust dough into a 1/8-inch thick large circle. Cut the dough into squares. Each square should be bigger than the apple. Place the apple on top, using a knife to trim the edge to an apple shape. Place them on prepared baking pan.
Make the mixture: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, cinnamon and beaten egg yolk together. Brush the top of each apple with the mixture.
Bake for 35-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the apples appear slightly soft. For softer, mushier baked apples, bake extra 10-15 minutes. The time depends on how firm your apples were and how soft you want them to be.
Remove apples from the oven. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Sugar: Brown sugar is recommended as it will add moisture to the apples. Granulated sugar works well in this recipe too.
