Apple pie is one of the desserts we love most because it reminds us of the snacks we had when we were children. Preparing a soft and tasty apple pie is really very simple, you just need to follow the recipe carefully and dose the ingredients in the right way.
You can prepare your homemade apple pie to serve for breakfast, as a snack or as a dessert after lunch or dinner. To prepare this cake you can choose the variety of apples you prefer. We recommend yellow apples if you want a sweeter flavor and green apples for a slightly more acidic taste.
Those who don’t eat eggs and dairy products can follow our vegan apple pie recipe. Here are the ingredients and instructions for preparing your soft and at the same time really tasty apple pie at home. We recommend that you prefer organic ingredients.
Ingredients
Preparation
Wash, peel and slice the apples. Squeeze a lemon and sprinkle the apples with the juice obtained. In the meantime, prepare the other ingredients for your soft apple pie. Beat the eggs with a whisk and mix them with the yogurt, brown sugar, extra virgin olive oil and milk. Mix the liquid ingredients very well and pour them into a large bowl.
At this point start pouring in the spelled flour and rice flour little by little. Continue mixing with a whisk or a spoon, trying not to form lumps. It’s easier to avoid lumps if you sift the flour before using it. You can prepare this cake with a hand whisk, or with an electric whisk or with the food processor.
Add a pinch of ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt and a sachet of organic baking powder to the mixture. If the mixture seems too thick, pour in a little more milk. Mix well and add the apples after draining them and distribute them evenly in the mixture. If you have chosen an organic lemon, you can also add one or two teaspoons of grated lemon zest to your apple pie to flavor it even more. If you want, enrich your cake with a spoonful of raisins or chocolate chips.
Oil and flour a cake mold and pour the mixture. Bake your apple pie in the oven at 180°C for about 35-40 minutes until the surface is golden and the pie is well cooked inside. Do the toothpick test before taking it out of the oven.
How to store fluffy apple pie
To keep your apple pie soft and fragrant even in the following days, let it cool completely before storing it. You can store it under a cake bell or in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place, for one or two days. If temperatures are high, it is better to keep it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about 3-4 days. Before serving, leave it at room temperature for a few minutes or lightly heat a slice to regain all its softness. A little advice to make it even more delicious? Add a few thin slices of apple to the surface before cooking and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon: you will obtain an even more fragrant apple pie, perfect to accompany with a cup of hot tea or herbal tea.
