I made an apple pie the day before yesterday. And I said that I would post a recipe : ) (I guess I did.. anyway I planned to do) so here it is! I couldn't post it yesterday because I went to the Efteling : ) For those who don't know what that is, it's an amusement park (with rollercoasters and stuff) But also, the main thing what makes the Efteling different than a lot of other amusement parks in the Netherlands, is that it has a fairytale forest :3 It's actually more for the little ones, but I like it. Because it is the main thing of the Efteling and has always been the thing that made it different. And ofcourse, because when I was a kid, I went there with mom and dad (:
I'll post just two pictures of things from the Efteling and than I post the recipe for the apple pie!
Maybe not verry clear, but this is a (I saw, steampunk) 5-headed monster that is used in the new park show; Raveleijn. About an old medieval-like village who is in danger of the evil king and need to be saved by the 5 riders. I saw it for the first time (since its new) yesterday. And it was pretty good show! With horses, raven, owls, fire, water and spectacular music x)

This is the fairytale tree. He's also new in fairytale forest ;) it was already night here (it was open till 12 pm!) and this is just before the park was closed. He asks your name and age. And after that he asks you which tale you want to hear, and than he starts telling a little story. Its verry cute, cause you can see him speaking and it looks verry real!
Ok, now over to the Apple Pie à la Domaine de Lavergne.
(it's called like that, because it was originally made with honey and nuts from Domaine de Lavergne).
What you will need.
I hope you could follow this a little bit since my English isn't that good! For questions, just response. And I hope you use the same measures as we doe (grams, degrees etc).
Fresh from the oven! Now let it cool down for an hour or so.
And here it is! Maybe it's not that mouth-wattering looking on the photo. But this was just made with my mobile phone ; )
(it's called like that, because it was originally made with honey and nuts from Domaine de Lavergne).
What you will need.
- one pack of mix for apple pie (or 300 grams selfrising flour)
- 175 grams of dairy butter
- 1 egg
- 6 big (sour) apples
- 3 ts (table-spoon) brown or white (caster)sugar.
- 2 teaspoon(!) cinnamon.
- 2 biscuits or dry cookies
- 5 (big) ts honey with nuts (if you cant get this, just mix honey with nuts you like)
- 3 ts raisins
- butter (to make the baking greasy)
- lemon (not necassary)
- First, peel the apples and cut them in little slices or cubes (how you like the most). To avoid them from turning brown, spray some lemon over it.
- Pre-heaten the oven on 180 degrees.
- Make the dough. Put the dough from the pack (or the flour) in a big bowl, with the butter, and the egg (3/4 of the egg) (first beaten !). Knead it together till its fully mixed.
- Make the baking shape greasy with butter. And put 2/3 of the dough in the baking shape. Use the other 1/3 later for the crossed lines on top of the pie. (dont forget the sides).
- On top of the dough, crumble the biscuits or cookies. Make it fill the whole shape. This is to avoid the pie gets too wet.
- Mix the slices/cubes of apple with cinnamon and sugar and make the first layer of the pie.
- On top of the first layer, you will put the honey with nuts. If its hard, warm it up a little bit so you can spread it gently. Now you can fill in the rest of it with apples.
- Make little roles of the left dough and put it gently across each other on top. Use the 1/4 of the beaten egg and spray it over the top (so it wont burn).
- The pie needs to be in the oven for about 70 minutes. After that you better let it cool down for an hour or so, before removing it from the baking shape.
I hope you could follow this a little bit since my English isn't that good! For questions, just response. And I hope you use the same measures as we doe (grams, degrees etc).
