How to Make Apple Pie in the Microwave

1. Gather your ingredients:
   • 1 cup all-purpose flour
   • 1/2 cup sugar
   • 1/4 teaspoon salt
   • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
   • 1 large egg yolk
   • 1 tablespoon ice water
   • 2 cups peeled and sliced apples
   • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
   • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
   • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
   • 1/4 cup sugar
   • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2. Make the pie crust:
   1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
   2. Add the butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
   3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, ice water, and 1 tablespoon of the flour. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until it just comes together. Do not overmix.
   4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Assemble the pie:
   1. Preheat the microwave to high.
   2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle.
   3. Place the dough in a 9-inch microwave-safe pie plate. Trim the edges of the dough so that they are even with the edge of the pie plate.
   4. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
   5. Roll out the remaining dough to a 10-inch circle. Place this circle on top of the apple filling, trim the edges, and crimp the edges together to seal.
   6. Make a few slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
   7. Bake the pie in the microwave for 5-7 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
4. Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
