Instructions

Melt the butter in a small pan. Add flour and whisk until it forms a paste. Then add water and palm sugar. Cook on medium heat until the sugar melts completely. Remove from heat. It might appear clumpy, but it will mix well during baking.

Pour the sugar mixture over the diced apples and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle Lao sweet chili powder over the mixture and mix again.

Whisk the egg and water together. Brush the egg mixture over the pie crust. Cover the edges of the pie with tin foil to prevent burning.
