Apple Pie In An Apple

Mmm!!  This looks so good and it looks like a fun recipe to try with kids!!

To make this a little easier and faster, you could use a refrigerated, premade pie crust.

Start with the pie dough (the recipe can be found by clicking the recipe link at the end of the post). I rolled the dough between two plastic sheets using chopsticks as guides for an even thickness. I put the sheet of dough on a cutting board and placed it in the fridge while working with the apples.

For each medium apple you will need:

1 tbsp sugar

1/2 tbsp all purpose flour

1/4 tsp powdered cinnamon

Mix the ingredients and sprinkle over the reserved apple pulp. Toss with a spoon and fill the apple bowls.

Remove the dough from the fridge and cut flowers with a cookie cutter. make some holes to release vapor while baking.

Carefully place a flower over each apple. Don’t try to mold the dough, it will be firm and will break. The heat of the oven will take care of that

Serve warm or cool, lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar.

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup corn starch

1tbsp sugar

100g butter, cold

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

Directions:

Put all ingredients in the jar of a food processor and mix only until it forms a ball. If necessary, add a few drops of cold water. Don’t over mix. If you want do do it manually, mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the butter and rub the mixture with your hands until you have a crumbled texture. Add the egg and  mix until it comes together into a ball. If necessary, add a few drops of water. Do not over mix.
