Hi, how are you??, I am looking for some information for a project I am making related to pastry and I think that maybe you could help me

P1) Well, I have been looking for brownies, apple pie and lemon pie recipes and what i have is:

Brownie: First you have to cook the chocolate with the butter to have a melted cream and on the other hand you could get the mass by beating the eggs and the sugar, then taking this to mix with the flour. Once you have the mass, you have to mix it with the melted cream, then you fill the mould using a little of butter. Then you bake and once is baked you have to cool the brownies to release them from the mould.

Apple pie: You have to choose the apples, then wash, peel and cut them in slices to cook them with cinammon, sugar and clove. On the other hand you get the mass by mxinig flour, eggs, sugar, butter and salt, then you let the mixing settle, the you stretch the mass, cut it to make stripes to cover the pie. You have to put the pie in the mould by placing one layer of mass, then the cooked apples spreading cinammon and finally the mass stripes spreading sugar over the final layer. Then you bake the pie, and when it finished, you have to let the pie cool to release it from the mould.

Lemon Pie: First you have to mix salt, flour, sugar, butter and yolk, the mass is placing in moulds using flour and butter. Then you stretch it, make some holes on it, and bake it. In second place you have to beat milk, lemon and yolk to make the cream we are going to use for the filling. Finally you have to mix sugar and egg white to get the meringue to cover the pie. Then you fill the cake you have previously baked, with the cream and finally you have to cover the pie with the meringue. Then you bake it again and once it is finished you have to let it cool down to release it from the mould.

...and I would like to know if something important is missing ??

P2) Do you know how much time it takes every step of the preparation, the mixing,

your brownies sound right but you first melt chocolate with the butter let it cool slightly so it doesnt cook your eggs when you add it. While thats going whip your eggs with the sugar you want to whip that till its twice the volume thick pale and creamy. sifted your dry ingredients together and add those little by little to the egg and sugar, stir don't whip to the egg and sugar mix. Stir in your chocolate and mix until its well mixed. pour into a oiled square baking dish and bake @ 350 degrees F(not C) till set use a clean knife or a toothpick to test them in the center. The toothpick will come out clean when they are done. Let them cool turn them out of the pan when they are warm and trim the edges since they will be hard.

RESPOND IF YOU NEED MORE HELP SINCE THIS IS KINDA LATE.
