I have made this apple pie twice this week and both times it disappeared so fast that I didn't manage to photograph it, sorry! Maybe that tells something about it more than any picture would do? And anyway, it just looks like any other apple pie, but tastes like a piece of heaven!
I promised to translate it so that also my boyfriend, whom I'm trying to encourage to take first steps on the divine path of baking, could make it at home :) So here it comes, freely translated from the original recipe at the Finnish baking website and online shop Ullan Unelma .
Apple pie
200 g butter
1,5 dl sugar
2 eggs
3 dl wheat flour
1 dl grated coconut
1 tsp vanilla sugar
1 tsp baking soda
0,5 tsp cardamom
0,5 dl milk
3-4 apples, depending on their size
cinnamon and sugar
Preheat oven to 200C and lightly grease a pie form with butter or oil.
Beat sugar and butter into a smooth mass. Add eggs one by one, beat well.
Mix flour, coconut, vanilla sugar, baking soda and cardamom and add some, then milk and then the rest of the flour.
Spread the dough on a pie form and add sliced apples on top of it. Sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on the pie.
Bake in 200C for about 25 minutes and enjoy with vanilla sauce, ice cream or just like that :)
I guess I have to make it again, just to have a picture of it as well. This is a very easy recipe, doesn't take much time but tastes very good! Happy apple season :)
