original American apple pie

For the base, mix the flour, sugar, and salt; add the butter in small pieces. Combine the egg yolk and water in a glass and pour over the dough mixture. Mix everything together to form a dough; you may need to add another 1-2 teaspoons of water. Chill the mixture for about 1 hour. Pour the chilled dough into a greased 26cm baking dish lined with baking paper, also forming a rim, and chill for another 30 minutes. For the filling, quarter the apples and cut them crosswise; mix with the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour. Pour the filling onto the dough and bake at 200°C for 35 minutes. Meanwhile, for the bread pudding topping, cut the white bread into 2cm cubes and place in a bowl. Heat the cream and milk in a saucepan; add the sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and salt, and mix everything together. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until frothy. Then stir into the slightly cooled cream mixture. Pour this over the diced bread until it is thoroughly coated. Let it sit for 15 minutes, stirring gently 1-2 times during this time. Remove the cake from the oven after the first 35 minutes of baking time, place it on a baking sheet, and reduce the temperature to 190°C. Spread the bread pudding mixture over the apples, top with a few flakes of butter, and sprinkle with sugar. Return to the oven and bake for another 35 minutes. Let it cool for about 30 minutes before slicing, and enjoy while it’s still warm!
