Mastering the Convection Steam Oven

PREPARATION METHOD

1. In a large bowl, combine all the pie crust ingredients. 2. Crumble lightly together until well

combined. 3. Mix in the cold water and bring the dough together with a fork. 4. Divide the

dough into two pieces and set one back in the bowl. Cover with a damp towel. 5. Roll out the

rst piece of dough on a generously oured surface until about

⁄8 inch thick, or large enough to

cover the bottom and side of a pie pan. 6. Place the rolled-out dough in a pie plate or dish.

7. In another bowl, combine apple mixture ingredients. 8. Pour the apple mixture into the

prepared pie dish. Place the 2 tablespoons of butter on top of the apple mixture in small pieces.

9. Roll out the remaining dough into a top crust and place on top of the pie. Crimp the edges

of the pie and cut off any excess dough. 10. Cut a few small vent slots in the top of the crust.

11. Place on the wire rack set on position 2. Select the Auto Steam Bake Mode - Puff Pastry

set to 425°F. Set a timer for 30 minutes. 12. After 30 minutes, open the oven and rotate the pie.

13. Reduce the temperature to 400°F and set the timer for 20 minutes. 14. After 20 minutes,

remove the pie and place on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for 45 minutes before serving.
