Dive into a fairytale with this enchanting Snow White Poison Apple Pie! With a rich black cocoa powder crust that’s as dark as the story itself and a luscious sweet caramel sauce that adds the perfect touch of magic. This isn’t just a dessert; it’s a fairytale on a plate!
In the bowl of your stand mixer, with the paddle attachment on, mix the bread flour together with the black cocoa powder and sugar for about 1 minute on the lowest speed.
8.85 oz bread flour, 0.90 oz granulated sugar, 0.55 oz black cocoa powder
Add the softened butter all at once and mix on the next speed until it is thinly crumbled (1 or 2 minutes).
4 oz butter
Add the egg yolk. Continue mixing on the same speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until it is combined.
1 egg yolk
Add a tablespoon of water, one at a time and continue mixing for about 2 minutes. NOTE: Depending of the bread flour and egg yolk you might need a bit more or need a bit less. Be careful to not under water your dough as it will be break upon rolling it. And the same goes if it is too wet, the dough will collapse upon baking.
3 1/2 Tbsp Spring Water
Transfer the dough onto your Roul'Pat™ and roll it slightly bigger than your tart mold.
With the help of the Cake Server Knife remove the extra dough. Lightly pierce it with a fork. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator prior baking. NOTE: The dough will hold better and will have less chances to retract.
TOP DOUGH PREPARATION
Prepare the top dough using the same process as for the bottom dough: First, mix the bread flour and sugar. Add the butter, then the egg yolk together with the water and green food colorant.
8.85 oz bread flour, 0.90 oz granulated sugar, 4 oz butter, 1 egg yolk, Food Colorant
Transfer the dough onto your Roul'Pat™ and roll it slightly bigger than your tart mold.
With the help of the Cake Server Knife draw and cut your "poison apple". Cover and set aside in the refrigerator prior baking as well.
APPLE PIE FILLING PREPARATION
Peel and remove the core of your apples. Then thinly slice them and set aside in your mixing bow.
2.20 Lbs apples
Place butter in a medium sauce pan and heat on low until melted. Whisk in the all-purpose flour (it will make a paste). Then, add the water and sugar right away. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat and combine the vanilla bean paste and ground cinnamon.

Pour the caramel over the apples and toss to coat.
