"Apple and cinnamon go together like____" umm.. idk. I really cannot think of anything which goes together apple and cinnamon. Anyways, the following recipes are very dear to me and i absolutly feel lovely writing them down for you guys.
Apple Pie
Ingredients:
2 apples
Butter
Sugar
All purpose flour
Cinnamon powder
Chopped Nuts
Time: 30 mins-1hr
Method:
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water and sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer. Add in the cut apples and stir for sometime. You could add cinnamon at this point itself.
Now, for the crust, take 2 cups of flour and add 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tbsp sugar, 3-4 cubes of butter, 1/2 cup of all-vegetable oil (8 Tbsp. Add water accordingly to make the pastry dough.
Next, spread in the dough in the pie tray. Put the apple mixture in the tray and evenly spread out to fill it out completely.
Cut out strips of the remaining dough and decorate it however you like it. I personally love the basket or grid pattern.
Bake in the oven for about 30-45 minutes. Keep cheching in between. If the top portion has become brown, take it out and it is readyyyyyy.
Apple crumble
Ingredients:
1 apple
Cinnamon powder
Butter
Sugar
Oats
Flour
Time: 15mins
Method:
Toss the cut apples with the 4-5 tbsp sugar and 1tbsp cinnamon and put it aside.
Mix flour and 6-8tbsp sugar in a bowl and slice in the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture looks like moist breadcrumbs. (P.S: Shake the bowl and any big bits will come to the surface – rub them in. I usually pulse it in a processor because it is much more easy)
Pour the crumb mix over the apples layer wise. Starting with the apples layer.
Sprinkle the oats on top and a little bit of sugar(for the extra crunch) and oh cinnamon too.
Put it in the oven for 5-10 mins anddddd you’re doneeeee.
P.S: you could also put bits of plum to nutralise the sweetnees a little.
Have it with vanilla ice cream for a mind blowing experience.
