Yesterday I started looking for recipes containing apples. We have a lovely big apple tree in our garden now. They must be cooking apples as they're not that great tasting as is, but they're great in the apple pie I made yesterday.
I've only ever made apple pie using canned apples, never fresh. This time I used our own fresh apples straight off the tree. I think I used two for the apple pie. Peel, core and slice the apples. Place them in a pot with 1 part sugar to 3 parts water. Simmer for a few minutes until they just become soft, then remove from syrup.
Here's the apple pie recipe if you like baking:
2 eggs
3/4 C sugar
60g margarine
1/4 C milk
1 C self-raising flour
1 tin apples or 2 whole apples (see above)
Whisk eggs and sugar.
Melt margarin and add.
Add milk, then flour.
Mix well and pour into pie dish.
Place apples on top.
Bake 30 min at 180C
Syrup
Melt:
3/4 C cream
1 t caramel essence
3/4 C sugar
Use fork to pierce pie once it's baked. Pour syrup over and place back into warm oven for a few minutes.
Serve with cream or ice cream.
Wow, that looks really amazing. And it's an apple pie recipe that doesn't require you to make pastry! Even more of a bonus.
