Almost everyone whose ever bakes knows how to bake an apple pie. Its one of the simplest things to do. This is my own recipe.
What you need:
Apples , about 3, cored, skin peeled and cut into cubes.
Butter, about 50g
Sugar, a tablespoon, normal white or brown
Cinnamon, a dash, according to your taste
Vanilla, essence 1 tspn or 1 pod
Puff pastry ( instant), i used a brand i got from my local grocer, Kawan Puff Pastry.
Making it work
Chuck the butter and sugar into a saucepan on medium heat and let the mixture caramelize. Give it a mix after a few minutes. If you are using vanilla pod you can chuck them in too.
When the mixture starts to simmer, dunk the apples in and give it a good mix. If you like your apple pies really sweet you can add more sugar to this mix. Add cinnamon and let the apples stew in the caramel mixture and absorb all those lovely flavors.
Once the apples start getting a bit soft, take the saucepan off the heat and set it aside to cool down for a bit. the thing is, if you put this hot mixture onto the pastry, you'll ruin it and get mush all over your fingers.
Once the apples have cooled off, get your pastry out of the fridge. Pre-heat your oven to 180C and line a baking tray.
