Apple And Pear Pie With Raisins, Pecans And Fennel Seeds

1. 1

   ["Prepare the pie dough as suggested in the recipe and leave it in the fridge along with your baking trays. I usually cool every singe thing that comes in contact with the pie dough when I start baking, that means the fats (butter) doesn't start melting in the dough cavities and that makes for a not so flaky crust. And remember, a good pie crust starts with chilled butter and very cold iced water.45", "Core the apples and pears and cut them in thin slices.

Place the pie strips on top as you desire and give it an egg wash with a pastry brush and sprinkle some sugar on top. Now the pie is ready to send it into the oven!", "Bake the pie for 45 minutes or so and check it for doneness soon after. You can broil it for 5 minutes or so to get some nice color."]
