Apples everywhere …
During daytime I put a box with apples out at the bottom of the drive near Creamery Green. Please, please help yourselves! Some are perfect, others have the odd blemish.
Here is my favourite recipe for Dutch Apple Pie:
175 g margarine
300 g plain flour
a pinch of salt
3 tsp baking powder
100g caster sugar
1 egg
Line the bottom of a spring form (10 inch) with baking paper, mix the ingredients and line bottom & sides of the form with the mixture (you’ll need plenty of flour on your hands to stop the mixture from sticking to your hands).
Approx. 600-700 grams of peeled, cored and sliced cooking apples. Mix with some sugar, lemon juice and grated zest, sultanas and cinnamon. Mix. Push slices into inside of the pastry rim for firmness and use the rest to fill. Bake at approx. 170 C for approx. 30-40 minutes.
60 g granulated sugar
60 g margarine
60 g sliced almonds
Breadcrumbs (white – 2 slices)
Vanilla essence (a few drops)
Cinnamon
Mix, add as topping once the pastry rim starts to go brown. Bake for a further 10 minutes until golden brown.
