Another Apple Pie

I've started baking again this autumn and as I experiment with recipes and then forget them and often lose the pieces of paper I've written them on, I'm returning to blogging about baking. Here's the recipe I tried today - an apple pie, again:

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1 pack (10 g) baking powder
• 4 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup cranberries, soaked in 2 tbsp rum
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1 big apple, peeled  and cut into small pieces
• 1 big pear, cut into small pieces

Preparation: Beat the eggs with the sugar, add the oil, flour with baking powder and cinnamon and stir. Add the cranberries, walnuts and pieces of fruit and pour the batter into a baking dish, greased with butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C until ready.

Serve with coffee, milk or juice.

Tee Rose Apple Pie

Another apple pie, very juicy and tasty, this time with yeast dough. I found the recipe on a Bulgarian forum, translated from a Russian blog, adapted from a French blog, ...

Ingredients:

• 270 g flour
• 120 g milk
• 60 g butter
• 7 g fry yeast
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 5 small apples

Make the dough as usual and leave it to double its volume. Meanwhile peel the apples, remove the seeds and cut them into thin slices. Cut the dough into two and spread each half into a rectangle. Cut the dough rectangles into bands 1.5 - 2 mm wide and arrange the dough bands and apple slices into concentrated circles in the greased baking tin. Leave to rest and rise for half an hour, glaze with 1 egg yolk and milk, sprinkle with granulated sugar and cinnamon and bake for 45 min in a preheated oven at 180-190 C. Serve cold with tea or milk.

Because of the plentiful of apples this pie is very light and juicy and has a very tasty sugary crust, I liked it!

Apple Pie

Lately I've been baking apple pies like crazy. It's the season of apples and the smell of baked apples and cinnamon is the most divine of smells in the kitchen. I like my fruit pies to contain lots and lots of juicy fruit, so here's the ultimate apple pie recipe I came up with today:

Ingredients:

• One 400 g pack of puff pastry
• Two big apples
• 80 g of sugar (more or less according to taste)
• cinnamon
• 20 g of flour

 

Peel the apples and cut them into thin slices. Mix the slices with the sugar, the cinnamon and a spoon of flour in a bowl. Roll out the pastry until it's about 4 mm thick. Measure and cut the excess width and length into thin bands. Spread the pastry into a suitable baking tin, fill in with the apples, arrange the grid of thin pastry bands and fold in the corners. Bake in a preheated oven at 200C for 20-30 min. Powder with sugar while hot.
The end product is a very juicy apple filling and sweet pastry crust, which combine together into a perfect cinnamon flavored bite.

Ябълков сладкиш

1 пакет хилядолистно тесто, 

2 големи ябълки, 

80 г захар (количеството варира според вкуса)

канела, 

лъжица брашно.

Обелете и нарежете ябълките на тънки филийки. В голяма купа ги объркайте добре със захарта, канелата и брашното. Брашното се добавя, за да сгъсти малко сока, който пускат ябълките и да му придаде леко кремообразна форма. Разточете тестото до дебелина 4 мм, премерете формата за печене и изрежете излишъците на тънки ленти. Разстелете тестото във формата, изсипете ябълките, оформете от изрезките решетка и подгънете краищата. Печете в предварително загрята фурна на 200С за 20-30 мин до зачервяване. Поръсете с пудра захар.
