Apple pie

 

Many years back when we visited our Swedish friends in Stockholm, she served us Leek pie and apple pie for dinner. I took the recipe from her and they became frequent dishes at home. Children relished both.

Ingredients

4 medium sized apples

1 ¼ cup sugar

1 egg

½ tsp allspice powder

For the pie shell:

170 gms refined flour

A pinch of salt

2 tsps sugar

½ cup solidified ghee

¼ cup water

Instruction

-          Peel and grate the apples, add sugar and keep on low fire.

-         Let it cook and get thicker in consistency. Remove from fire and keep aside to cool. 


-         Meanwhile start making the pie shell. Sieve the flour, add salt, sugar and ghee.


-          Mix in the ghee to the flour with a fork till it resembles bread crumbs.

-           Slowly keep adding water and knead into smooth dough. Take 1/8 of the dough and keep aside. Spread the dough into round and slowly put it inside an oiled pie dish. Prick the entire surface with a tooth pick.

-           Now beat the egg and add to the cooled, cooked apple, along with the allspice powder.



-          Spread it inside the shell.

-          Flatten the dough kept aside, make into strips and put it over the pie in any design you like

-          Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 35 minutes.

-          Cut into wedges and serve. Ice cream goes very well with this. For me it tastes better on the next day.
