Easy Apple Pie

I love pies but I am not in to making the pie shells, and having said that I prefer using frozen puff pastry, which is easy and fast to prepare.  As I was browsing through a blog recipe, something caught my eye, which is none other than "Easy Apple Pie."  Knowing that I still have some frozen puff pastry in the freezer and a few other simple ingredients, there seem to be no reverse gear for me, and here it is to share....

Ingredients:

1 red apple

1 tbsp butter

2 tbsp sugar

4 pcs. frozen puff pastry (small box)

1 egg yolk

Methods:

1. Peel and cut the apple into 1/4" pieces.
2. In a heated pan add butter, apple and sugar.  Stir often and cook using medium low heat until the apple becomes more translucent and most of the liquid has evaporated, remove from heat and set aside to cool down.
3. Dust the work table with flour, place the defrosted puff pastry on the flour, prick with fork on two of the pastry to make the bottom of the pie and make 4 slits on the other two pastry which will be for the top of the pie.
4. Transfer the two bottom pastry onto a lightly greased baking sheet.  
5. Put the apple filling onto the pastry, leaving about half inch space around the rim. Cover the pie with the top pastry.  Use a fork to press on the four edges of the pies.
6. Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl and brush the top of the pastry to obtain that golden brown colour when baked. 
7. Bake in a preheated oven of 200 degree Celsius until golden brown.
8. Serve!
