- Whisk until the dough gathers around the paddle.
- Remove and before you roll it to a disk cut a small piece of the dough enough to make the strips on top.
- Make a disk with a diameter around 30 cm / 12 in., to cover the bottom and the sides of a pie pan of 24 cm / 9 in.
- Cover the disk with a plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight.
- You can make the filling while the dough rests in the fridge or leave it for the nest day if you are planning to leave the dough overnight.

- Take the dough disk out of the fridge to thaw for about 10 minutes.
- Take a pie pan of 24cm / 9 in and butter it well.
- Carefully cover its bottom and sides with the dough.
- It doesn’t matter if the dough is cut at points.
- Just join them together and will be fine.
- Arrange the apples and pour on top of them the syrup they were cooked in.
- Roll the small ball of dough to a flat rectangular and cut thin strips.
- Place them on top of the filling to look like a lattice.
- Brush them with the egg white and place the pie in the oven.

- Remove, let cool, cut and serve.
