Many of you, who have been following my recipes would have noticed that I am more into making savoury dishes because that's the kind of food I will jump up and down for. I do consider myself lucky for my other half has the same taste in food as me, the spicy,tangy and salty kind of dishes. Even the snacks we have during weekends are pretty much the same, something like tuna rolls, mini pizzas or herbs flavoured slices of bread.
Out of the blue, I had a craving for a sweet dessert into my system and what would be a better dessert than a thin slice of apple pie served with a scoop of ice-cream. After all, whenever I buy desserts from cake shops, it will either be apple puffs, apple turnover and apples! apples! all the way. Making desserts for me is about simplicity with searching for ingredients within my reach. I hate spending hours in my kitchen preparing desserts and the cleaning up of the utensils and the rest of the items used.
While the crust was baking, I had enough time to prepare the apple topping. Next was layering the flavoured apples in circles and back into the oven. Either enjoy the baked pie as it is or with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients
For the bottom layer/crust150g all purpose or plain flour
75g softened salted butter
10g caster sugar
For the top layer/apple topping
4-5 granny apples - cut into two, remove seeds and sliced thinly with the skin on
1/4 cup caster sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon powder
Method:
For the bottom layer/crust
Combine all ingredients for the crust.
Rub ingredients together to form a crumble mixture.
Into a greased spring form pan, press the crumble inside.
Bake on preheated oven (10mins) at 170C for about 15 mins or until crumble becomes light brown in colour.
For the top layer/apple topping
Add all ingredients and gentle mix together.
Arrange the apple sliced in circles on top of the baked crust.
Put back in the oven and bake for 50mins or until the apples sliced becomes light darkish brown.
Remove from oven and let it cool down.
Dust some icing sugar on top and served with ice-cream.
oh la la ...

ReplyDeletepie my fravor
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous pie. A big slice of that with some vanilla ice cream would be perfect for me.
ReplyDeleteThe apple pie looks classy, compact and nice and I'm sure it'll taste delicious too. I also like the blue background against the white plate and the sliver of pie and ice cream(from afar there's a hint of mystery as to what it is-pistachio, dollop of ? ). This is a case where less is definitely more.
ReplyDeleteYour apple pie looks delicious and simple to make.. And the ice cream you paired with this pie made the pie more interesting to me! I love choco chips ice cream best!
