Apple pie with juicy filling and crispy topping, with anise

First prepare the filling so it can marinate a little: Peel the apples and slice them thinly. Mix the cinnamon, sugar, and aniseed well and stir them into the apples. Mix the dough ingredients. Roll out 1/3 of the dough and use the tin to cut out a lid. This works very well between two sheets of baking paper. The dough is very soft and tears easily. Line a dish with the remaining dough. A large apple tin with a diameter of 32 cm is best for this, but a regular springform pan will also work. Pour the filling onto the dough and place the lid on top using the baking paper. Press the edges firmly and pierce the lid at least 20 times with a fork. Bake at 175°C (fan oven, not preheated) or 185°C (conventional oven, not preheated) for about 75 minutes until golden brown. Brush with egg yolk and return to the oven for a short time. Serve in the dish. It’s very important to use tart apples. They also taste great warm with vanilla ice cream.
