First, bake the pie shell exactly for 1 min. @ 350 degree F. Then, you take 100 ml. of water and boil for about 2-3 min. and add the apple slices and the sweetner in the pot. Cook it on a very low heat for about 7-8 min. or till they are soft and tender. Add all other ingredients in it, mix them well and stop cooking. Then, add the water-corn starch mix <Slurry> in the pot and stir it well. Let it cool down for about 15-20 min. Then, pour that mixture into the pie shell and spread it equally everywhere with a spoon. Cover it up with the pie top and make sure you close the rim with either your finger or a fork. Brush your pie crust with the egg yolk. Then, bake it @ 325 degree F for about 15 min. or till it gets a nice golden colour. Let it cool down for about 30 min. then serve it with some whipping cream or some fresh strawberry slices!
