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.
