Grandma's Apple Pie

Chef’s Handyman, Grandma’s Apple Pie

Grandma’s apple pie is a favored Sunday dessert in our family, especially during the fall. By preparing this recipe I was just having a dream back to my childhood. It was so cozy, when the oven had been turned off and the fragrance of the apples was spread through the house. We children could hardly wait until the pie had been served. Within no time all the pieces had been gone. There was no chance to carry a left over.

Sunday dessert: Grandma’s apple pie

To make the dough: Separate eggs. Combine yolk, sugar, liquid butter and grated lemon rind until light. Add flour, 6-8 tbsp. of lemon curd and baking powder. Beat egg white with a dash of salt until stiff. Fold into the dough.

Cover spring form (9 inches, diameter) with parchment paper or grease with oil or butter. Add dough. Peel the apples and cut in quarter. Score some stripes into the back of the apples. Place the pieces on top of the dough. Apply marmalade or honey on top of the apples. Bake the cake at 400°F (200°C) in oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden and baked through. Cool cake. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Chef’s Handyman tip: Substitute apples for pears.
