CLASSIC APPLE PIE

This is a recipe I’ve found in a magazine and if you could see my copy you would know that I’ve had it for years! ou can never go wrong with an apple dessert; I’ll hardly ever eat apples but in a dessert they are the perfect companion!

Ingredients for 8 persons:

• 1 kg apples, cut and sliced in cubs
• 3 eggs
• 180 grams white granulated sugar
• 20 grams baking powder
• 180 grams melted butter
• 180 grams all purpose flour

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175°C
• Mix the egg yolks with 80 grams of sugar to a creamy substance, this takes at least 4-5 minutes. It needs to have a yellowy colour
• Add the baking powder, butter and flour to the mixture
• Mix the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt and mix through the rest of the mixture. Do not over-mix as you will otherwise loose your airy structure
• Butter a baking tin so the cake won’t stick
• Spoon the mixture in and push in the apple cubs with a fork. Sprinkle with 100 grams of sugar and put it in a preheated oven of 175°C for 80 minutes.
