- Let’s start with the preparation of the cookie basefor the apple pie.
- We then take all the cookies and crush them in the blender until they are powdered. It is important that you check that the blender glass is completely dry.
- Now we add the butterand mix with the cookie powder. Mix these two ingredients well until you get a pasty and malleable mixture.
- Tip: This process will be much easier if you add the slightly melted butter.
- We take this paste and cover the base of the moldwhere we will make our apple pie with Maria cookies.
- The idea is to completely cover the base and the edges, ensuring that it is well leveled and the biscuit layer is a bit thick. Once this is done, we reserve it.
- Now we make the pastry cream that we will use as a filling.
- For this, we infuse the milktogether with the piece of cinnamon and heat over medium heat in a saucepan until it begins to boil.
- On the other hand, beat the egg yolkswith the sugar, cornstarch and vanilla essence.
- Mix these three ingredients well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Finally, once the milk has boiled, turn off the heat, remove the cinnamon and add the yolk mixture.
- Stir everything until you get a thick mixture. Reserve and let the pastry cream cool at room temperature.
