[2023-10-30] how to make perfect apple pie [SvZuegzt8Bc]

There's something about making a pie that

I kind of like. Like the struggle and the

mess and the hard work, but then there's

also the excitement of seeing how it turns

out. It's kind of like having a kid in a

way. You don't know what you're doing and

you're making a mess and it's stressful

and hard work, and then you just let them

bake and do their thing, and then you sit

back and see how they're gonna turn out in

life. Depends on how well you made the

pastry, I guess. Well, it's like Jeff

Bezos. Everyone thinks he's this genius

who absolutely succeeds at everything he

does, but he's probably failed hundreds of

times. But he only needed to succeed a

couple of times to win it big. Like the

Amazon Fire Phone, the Fire Tablet.

There was some kind of telephone insurance

thing they tried to do. They had a lot of

failures, but they hit it off big with

Amazon Web Services. And I feel like that

can be applied to a lot in life.

Especially with investing. Like, you don't

need every single stock to be a winner.

You just need a couple to win big enough

to outweigh the losses. So we can't expect

the first pie to be really good. We gotta

keep making pies until we eventually get

it to be good. We gotta make 1,000 pies

before we get one good one. You gotta keep

trying 1,000 times before you get some

W's. For example, every famous successful

singer you see, there's gonna be tens of

thousands of failed singers. And failed

artists that you never hear about. Every

famous successful actor there is, there's

probably millions of failed actors. You

don't— you only hear about the success

stories and you don't really care or

notice about the tens of thousands,

hundreds of thousands of failures. Looks

like a foot. Most people quit, you know.

Most people, when, when they only get like

5K views every video, they just give up

and they move on, you know. Like TerryTV,

he quit probably because his channel died.

He used to be a big channel with like 500k

loyal fans, community, fanbase, merch,

and then he was only getting like 30-40k

views. Why do you think he quit? Because

he got bored of doing YouTube. Why do you

think he got bored of doing YouTube?

Because he only gets like 10% of what he

used to get and it's boring. He's not a

true YouTuber like me. I would have quit a

long time ago. If I was like those people.

But you know, I still do it for the love

of the craft. You either hate it or you

love it, and you got to love streaming and

YouTubing. You got to think about it all

day long, eat, dream, and sleep. Some

people don't deserve it, but they get the

millions of views whilst I just sit here

struggling. Would you still stream if it

made zero? I don't know, maybe if I'm

really bored. Okay, what about this? You

will only get 20 viewers, but your streams

will make you a minimum of $100 per

stream. Or you will get 10,000

viewers, but you only make like $20 a

stream. Which one would you choose? I

don't know, having 10,000 viewers would be

pretty exciting. This is my third time

trying to make a pie. My first apple pie

was rubbish, not enough filling. Pastry

was really brittle and hard,

not flaky at all. And then the blueberry

pie, the dough was too thick and it wasn't

cooked in the center. Cooking my apple

pie. Where do these damn flies keep coming

from? Okay, ready to

It's tearing this stupid pastry.

I'm just putting it in, whatever. Fed up.

Just going to squish it in.

Squish it in like that.

Pour in the filling.

Oh my God, it's a lot of filling.

Imagine I made too much filling this time.

Wow, that looks pretty good actually.

Look at that, it is gooey and gloopy.

This is what I wanted. That's the perfect

amount as well. Look at that, it fits

right in there. I am a genius.

Oh wow, look at that filling.

Damn, that actually looks good.

Look at that filling. Oh my God,

oh my God, holy crap,

that tastes so good. Jesus,

I am a genius. It's like appley and

honey-y.

Oh my God, that is good

filling. Oh, when I looked on YouTube,

people were boiling the apples in sugar

and then adding it to the pie like that.

And we've got one strip. I don't want to

do too thin strips, otherwise it'll take

I could cut it in half. Where are the

scissors? Like that.

Give it a snippy snip.

And this one will go here. Oh!

Looking pretty good. And then I get this

one.

Snippy snip. It's pretty satisfying when

you snip it. And then you gotta flip it

over like this.

Watch, you gotta flip over these 2.

And then you put in— ah, this one's too

Does it matter?

Put it like that. And then you flip it

back over like

that. And then you flip over these bits,

alternate the strips.

I saw it on YouTube.

I'll cut a new strip.

And then you put that new strip here.

Flip it back over. Oh my God, it looks

good! This is not as

hard as I thought. Flip it back over.

Oh wow, look, I'm baking

a pie! And then flip these 2.

Like that. We got a lot of dough left

over. And put like this,

the milk.

This is so unhealthy. It's just It's just

like half a lump of butter, loads of

sugar, honey.

Hmm. Okay.

Oh, it feels pretty stiff.

I was expecting when I tap it, it would

just— what's that stupid noise? I was

hoping it would kind of move when I poke

it. Oh, it is kind of moving here.

I don't want it to be too thick and

strong. I want it to like break when I

poke it. Yeah, it is kind of breaking.

Yeah, damn, I didn't think I could do the

lattice pattern so well. Get a nice

close-up of that lattice. I thought it was

gonna be really hard. It was actually

quite fun weaving Each strip, flipping it

over, weaving it in. It was like weaving.

Yeah, like weaving a basket. I can't

believe how good this looks. Holy crap.

We gotta get this pie out. Oh, oh, oh,

I got it. Oh, the problem— the problem

with this dish is it's got a hole in the

bottom so you can lift out the pie.

That's why it's moving like that. Oh, I

got it, I got it. Ta-da! Uh, the crust is

breaking. Oh my God, this looks so good.

Wow.

Yeah, it's fine.

My pie.

I need another tissue.

If I could just put my hand under there.

Oh my God, Jesus Christ, that's hot.

Oh, oh, oh, I touched it.

Hey, I got it, I got it.

We lost a bit of crust. Holy crap,

this pastry is good. It's like flaky

on the outside but slightly soft on the

inside. Look,

some people might think that's raw, but I

Okay, now I need

to slide it out.

Ooh, ta-da!

Wow, look at that.

Yeah, it just tastes like apple pie.

Give it 6.2 out of 10. It only took

3 hours, but this is the apple pie I

slaved away. I think

we could get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 slices out of

this. I might— I don't

know if I have another slice.

I hope she actually has a slice, not just

one bite. She doesn't really eat my food

anymore. She just has one bite and then

she doesn't eat anymore.

Oh, pretty good.

I'm not sure if it's better cold or

heated. Do you put it in the microwave?

Look at that flaky

pie lid with the soft pie base

and apple filling with honey. I'll show

It's kind of like jam at this point with

apple chunks.

Mm,

tastes like apple,

notes of honey,

buttery pastry.

6 out of 10.

The filling is really good though,

not too sweet,

and the honey is not overpowering.

Maybe I should get brown sugar for this

kind of pie.

What's the difference between brown sugar

and white sugar?

Huh, you know what I did when I was in

Japan the first time? I was so excited to

be in a Japanese supermarket for my first

time ever, and I was like, I don't know,

I really wanted to talk to someone. So I

go up to the staff, the salesperson who's

like shelving items, and I asked

him what's the difference between the

white eggs and the brown eggs. I don't

remember what he said though, because I

didn't— I don't think I understood what he

said. I just nodded and I said thank you.
