Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, prepare the béchamel sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the flour, mix well, and sauté for 1–2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and cream, constantly whisking the mixture until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until the sauce thickens, then set aside to cool.

Step 2

Slice the ham and apples thinly, grate the cheese, and beat the egg. Roll out two circles of pastry with diameters of 24 cm and 26 cm.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 374°F. Place the larger circle on a baking sheet, brush the edges with the beaten egg, and spoon some sauce in the center. Sprinkle a little cheese, then add a small amount of ham, followed by some apples. Alternate the layers until all ingredients are used. Cover with the second circle and seal the edges.

Step 4

Brush the top of the pie with the remaining beaten egg. Also, make a small hole in the center of the pie to release steam. Bake at 392°F for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 356°F and continue baking for another 15 minutes. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
