Apple Pie In An Apple

September 27, 2012 by laurie Leave a Comment

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.

I washed a few apples and cut off a lid from each one. With the help of a small sharp knife and a small spoon I caved the apples forming bowls and set the chopped pulp aside. To avoid the apples from getting dark, I added a few drops of lemon juice.
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.

SWEET PIE DOUGH


Ingredients:

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup corn starch

1tbsp sugar

100g butter, cold

1 egg

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.

Obs: This dough recipe is enough to make lids for approximately 8 apples.
Thanks for this great recipe idea Testado, Provado e Aprovado

Red White & Blue Stuffed Strawberries

Here is another great recipe idea for the Fourth of July!  It’s easy and such a great snack idea!

You will need:

20-25 fresh strawberries

20-25 fresh blueberries

80z. cream cheese

4 T. confectioners sugar

1 t. vanilla

1. Wash and dry strawberries and blueberries. Set blueberries aside. Using a small paring knife, cut the bottom off of each berry so that they stand up on a plate or tray. Using a melon baller, scoop out the top and stem of the strawberry.

2. In a mixer beat together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Place this mixture in a ziploc bag and snip off a tiny corner of one bag to make an opening like a pastry bag. Alternatively, use a pastry bag if you have one available.

3. Gently squeeze the cream cheese mixture into each berry and top it with a fresh blueberry. Serve.
