A simple and easy recipe that everyone loves. With soft, tender apples and a perfectly balanced blend of spices, this apple pie is guaranteed to become your favorite.
Ingredients:
4 apples (500 g), chopped into small dice, unpeeled
3 large eggs
180 ml milk
150 g cane sugar
A pinch of salt
300 g all-purpose flour
80 ml seed oil (or any neutral oil)
10 g baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Apples:
Wash and chop the apples into small dice, leaving the skin on for extra texture and flavor. Set them aside.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the milk, seed oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, then stir until well combined.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
4. Add the Apples:
Fold the chopped apples into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Bake the Pie:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Cooking Time:
Bake the apple pie in the preheated oven for about 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden and slightly crispy.
7. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, let the pie cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best experience.
Tips for Success:
For a richer flavor, use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith or Fuji.
Feel free to add nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for extra crunch.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving for a beautiful presentation.
