Delicious crust pie with apples and orange marmalade

This is one of the most delicious and magnificent pie crusts you could ever bake. It makes a special afternoon snack for children and adults alike. Give it a try yourself. A few ingredients produce a great pie. With this recipe, you will prepare a large quantity of crust, so you might consider baking one or two pies.

I have made two pies: a 14-inch x 6-inch (36cm x 16cm) rectangular one and a 9-inch (24cm) round one.

Instructions

Mix the diced butter and sugar in a stand for about 2 minutes; then add the egg;
When combined well, add the flour, the baking powder, and the salt;
Switch off the stand mixer, put the mixture onto a pastry board, and shape it quickly into a compact ball;
With a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a sheet of parchment paper until it’s thin enough to cover the pie pan;
Take the sides of the parchment paper and drape the dough over the pie pan;
Trim any excess dough from the rim of the pan; crimp the dough all the way around in a nice pattern;
Refrigerate the dough for 1 or 2 hours;
Take the pie crust out of the fridge and quickly prick the surface with the tines of the fork;
Evenly spread the marmalade and top with thin slices of apples;
Bake in a static oven at 325°F (163C°) for 30-35 minutes;
Make the second pie crust. Fill it with the jam (about 350g) and the apples. Make a lattice pattern to decorate it with excess dough.
