Make Apple Pie Recipe & Apple Crisp Crumble HOW TO COOK THAT Ann Reardon
Welcome to how to cook thatI am Ann Reardon
There have been lots of requests for an easydessert recipe so this week I am going to
show you how to make three quick and easyapple desserts. Firstly the apple pie with
a great shortcrust pastry which is probablythe most complicated out of all of them even
though it is still a simple dessert followedby super quick apple turnovers which are great
if you've got lots of people coming over atthe last minute and then finally a gluten
free apple crumble recipe.
To start with for all three desserts we needto turn on the oven and then prepare the apples.
You can either use tinned pie apple whichhas nothing but apple in it and a tiny bit
of salt or you can use fresh apple.If going with fresh then you need to wash
them and peel them. There is not right orwrong way to peel an apple just as long as
you get all the peel off that's fine.
Once they are peeled core them and slice them.I have this really handy apple cutter which
I like to use for this job it cores and slicesthem all in one time which speeds up the process.
You can of course slice them using a knifeand then cut the core part off each piece.
Place the apple slices into a saucepan witha tablespoon of water then put the lid on
and cook over medium high heat for about 5minutes until it is hot and bubbling then
you can turn the heat off and leave the lidon and just leave it to sit there while you
get you pastry ready.
To make our pastry for the pie you will needbutter flour sugar and one egg and a little
bit of milk. All of the recipe quantitiesare written on the website howtocookthat.net
there is a link to the recipe in the descriptionjust below this video.
Put your flour and your butter into a bowland then use a knife to slice the butter into
smaller pieces.Then rub the butter into the flour using your
fingertips. So you are basically just squashingit between your thumb and your fingers and
rubbing as you go. But making sure you getsome flour in there when you are doing it
you don't just want to be squashing the butteryou want to be squashing it into the flour.
Continue to do that for a few minutes untilyour mixture looks like this, there should
be no big lumps of butter in there anywhereit should look like fine breadcrumbs.
Add your sugar and mix it through well.
In a seperate bowl put a little milk and youregg and whisk them together with a fork. Then
pour it into the flour mixture and stir itwith a spoon until it is roughly together
and then use your hands to squash it togethermore and knead it until you have a smooth
ball of pastry.
At this point you should wrap your pastryand put it in the fridge and leave it to rest
for half an hour and that makes it easierto roll out, but because we are doing quick
desserts we are going to go ahead and rollit straight away. Put it on some baking paper
on your bench top and roll out your pastryuntil it is reasonably thin and big enough
to cover the whole base of your pie dish plusa bit more because we've got our pastry for
the lid there as well.Then pick up your pastry and flip it over
on the paper and then carefully place it overthe dish. Peel off the baking paper and then
going around the edges lift and lower thepastry, pushing it into the corners and making
sure there is no air bubbles trapped underneathyour pastry. Then using a knife trim off the
excess making sure your knife is leaning backwardsso that the pastry is still over the rim of
the dish so there is something for our lidto join onto. Add you apples ,
Add you apples, I make my pies nice and full,these apples will drop down a bit when they
cook so if you start with a pie that has applesthat are flat then you will have a sunken
top once it is baked in the oven. Sprinklea little sugar and cinnamon on top. If you
like you pie really sweet then you can addmore sugar and cinnamon to your apples before
you put them in the pie and mix it throughbut because the pastry for this pie has some
sugar in it I don't think the filling needsto be really sweet.
Roll out the rest of your pastry and checkthat it is big enough by holding the dish
over the top of the pastry. Flip the pastryover and peel off the baking paper just like
we did before. Then using a knife to cut offthe excess pastry again leaning the knife
outwards so you are leaving some pastry onthe rim of the dish. You can leave it plain
just like that or use your thumb and yourfinger to pinch a pattern all the way around
the edge of your pie.Take your knife and stab the top of the pie
a few times so there is space for the steamto escape. This stops you from getting a huge
air bubble at the top of your pie. Place itin the oven and let it bake until it is crisp,
golden brown and ready to eat. This will takeabout 30 minutes. And you have a beautiful
pie stuffed full or apples.
Dessert number 2 is super quick apple turnovers.Using some store bought puff pastry sheets
and tinned apple add some cinnamon and sugarto the apple and stir through. Now this puff
pastry that I am using is not sweet and thatis why we are sweetening the apples to compensate
for that.Cut your pastry sheet into quarters cutting
diagonally across the middle. Spoon on someyour apple and then fold the pastry in half
pressing on the edges to seal it shut.
From last weeks video there was a lot of requestsfor me to do a draw my life in video, for
those of you who are new to how to cook thatthere is a draw my life in chocolate video
on the channel so if you go to how to cookthat click on how to cook that and go to the
chocolate playlist you'll find it there.
Place your apple turnovers onto a baking trayand then take a fork and press down along
the two joined edges to fuse the two pastrysheets together.
Bake them in the oven until they are hot andyour puff pastry is crispy and golden. Serve
them immediately and you can add ice creamor whipped cream or custard to those.
If you've got a favourite dessert recipe thatyou like to make when people are coming over
and it's a last minute thing put the nameof it in the comments below so everyone can
get heaps of ideas of what else they can dowhen they are in a hurry.
For our third dessert we are going to makea gluten free apple crumble. Use some almond
meal or almond flour and rub some butter intothe almond meal. You could use gluten free
flour but I just find in the crumble dessertit's a bit pasty on the top of your mouth
when you eat it so I like to use almond mealin the crumble instead. Now gluten is just
the protein in wheat and people who have coeliacdisease or gluten intolerance can't have any
gluten in their diet so they cant have anywheat at all so we are making this one gluten
free. If you do not need it to be to be glutenfree then you can use all purpose flour for
this recipe instead.Mix in your sugar.
Then spoon some apple into your bowl,you canmake one large crumble or you can use smaller
bowls and make individual serves. Top witha generous sprinkle of crumble mixture. Bake
until the apple is hot and the crumble isgolden and crunchy. Add some ice cream or
some whipped cream and enjoy.
