Funnily enough, you will have to pretty accurately copy the laws of our universe to make an Apple pie. Even small changes will change the properties of atoms, and hence all of chemistry and biology. And there won't be any apples or wheat.

The baker is not asking you to trust them with your entire knowledge base in exchange for an apple pie.
