Last week somebody brought a box of apples from Kashmir. Apples were about 15 Kg. Even after distributing to some friends and family, we were still left with lots of apples. We were eating apples in the breakfast and even after dinner we were eating an apple or two. Just then I decided to bake an apple pie. Those were auspicious days of Navratri (nine days of goddess Durga) and we avoid eating egg then. Which means I had to bake an apple pie without an egg.. Here is my recipe for no egg apple pie.
Ingredients for Short crust pastry:
3cups all purpose flour (white flour)
1/2 cup cooking oil
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 cup milk
Method for the short crust pastry:
1. Combine oil, flour in a bowl, rubbing the mixture with the palms of your hand so that small lumps are formed..
2. Add sugar and milk to the lumps, mix well and now use water to knead it into a dough. The dough should be little hard kind.
3. Cover the dough with moist muslin cloth for 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Take 1/4 of the dough and roll out to make a big chapati.
5. Line the 9 inches pie pan with the chapati and trim the edges. Take a fork and prick the pastry dough.
6. Bake the pastry in a preheated oven at 150 degree C for 10 minutes.
7. Keep aside the baked pie line
Ingredients for Apple Filling:
8 apples, cored, peeled and cut into thin slices.
1/2 cup powder sugar
juice of one lemon
1 tsp cinnamon powder
Method for Apple Filling:
1.Take peeled apple slices, add lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon powder and cook in a heavy pan for 5 to 7 minutes till apples are slightly tender. Do not mash the slices.
2. Arrange the cooked apple slices in the baked pie pan evenly.
3. Roll out the chapati from the remaining dough taking other 1/4 part of the dough.
4. You can either cut strips of this and make a wire mesh for the pie or keep it whole(except make small cuts in this as that helps in baking the pie more crusty).
5.Brush little oil or ghee on the top of the pie. Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 15 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
