]]>The post Want to Make a Great Apple Pie? Use These Varieties of Apples appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>American chef and food writer J. Kenji López-Alt recently did an extensive test in which he compared all the popular varieties of apples to find out which one is the best for apple pies in terms of flavor and texture. Here are the winners.
Braeburn
According to López-Alt, Braeburn is a great fit not only for pies but also for tarts and sauces due to its sweetness and “citrusy aroma.” It holds its shape well while baking inside the apple pie and has a crisp texture when you bite into one of the chunks. This variety also comes with great golden color and “pear-like” flavor.
Golden Delicious
When it comes to apple pies, López-Alt argues that nothing tops Golden Delicious. And this result isn’t surprising as it is actually one of the most commonly-used apples for apple pies.
The chef says that the apple has just the right taste combination of sweet and tart, which are beautifully balanced when cooked. It also tastes fresh even when baked and retains its firmness for a perfect bite.

]]>Skipping Apple Prep
When picking apples for your pie, make sure to opt for firmer varieties that won’t get mushy when baked, and always chop them instead of blending them.
Apple Overload
Too much of a good thing can lead to a huge mess when it comes to apple pies. Don’t fill your pie with too many apples because its crust could get too wet from extra juice.
No Thickener
Flour, cornstarch, and similar thickeners are a must when it comes to apple pies because your crust will be too thin and mushy if you don’t use them.
Room Temperature
Once you’re done preparing your dough, make sure to put it inside your fridge while prepping the filling. It will soften and leave you with soggy crust if it’s kept at room temperature.
Oven Temperature
Speaking of temperature, it’s also important that your oven is properly heated when you’re baking the pie because the bottom of the crust won’t bake evenly otherwise.

]]>Apple Strudel
A Viennese classic, apple tart has been around for years now. The oldest apple strudel recipe that we know of actually dates back to 1697! And there’s a good reason why it’s still so popular. The classic version is made of strudel pastry, filled with a mix of grated apples, cinnamon, sugar, and raisins. But hey, feel free to create your own version of this delicious dessert.
Apple Pie
This one is originally from England, even though it has come to be known as an iconic American food over the years. It contains generous amounts of dough, with pastry holding the apple filling in place on both ends (top and bottom); and is normally served with ice cream or whipped cream for some extra corruptness. It’s pretty hard to resist such rich, sugary comfort food.

]]>Oatmeal
Oatmeal is always a great blank canvass for yummy flavors, especially apple pie! Eating oatmeal in the morning is especially good for you because the oats expand in your stomach, making you feel fuller for longer, and adding cinnamon to them is a wonderful way to boost your metabolism. All you have to do is cook your oats like normal, but after you add the liquid, put in a teaspoon of cinnamon, some diced apples, and a pinch of nutmeg. This will let the apples cook slightly and give you that apple pie feeling every morning!
First day of fall and it’s only fitting to make an apple pie porridge for breakfast! This dish gives you that full pie feeling, without the added calories! Ingredients: Porridge: 1/3 cup of rolled oats 1 cup oat milk 1 tbsp maple syrup Pinch of nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Pinch of Himalayan sea salt Optional extras: flaxseed meal, chia seeds Apple Filling: 1 apple 1 tbsp apple purée 1 tbsp water 1/2 tsp cinnamon Pinch of nutmeg 1 tsp maple syrup Caramel: 1 tsp instant coffee 1/2 tbsp coconut oil 1/2 tbsp cashew butter 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste 1 tsp maca 2 tbsp maple syrup Pinch Himalayan sea salt Crust: 2 tbsp desiccated coconut 1/2 cup oat flour 2 tbsp coconut oil 2 tbsp maple syrup Handful of pecans Sprinkle salt Method: Firstly make the crust by mixing the dry and wet ingredients together and bake in the oven on 180C. Then make the apple pie filling. Chop up the apples with skin left on (my preference). Cook in a pan on a low/medium heat with added ingredients, then set aside. Make caramel sauce, in a small dish add 1 tsp of instant coffee with 2 tsp boiling water and mix. In another dish melt the coconut oil and add all the other caramel ingredients. Add only a 1/2 tsp of the pre-made instant coffee to the mix. Set aside. Add 1/3 cup of rolled oats, add other ingredients, 1/2 cup of oat milk, then add the other 1/2 after it’s cooked in. Cook for a min of 30 mins, add water if the oats start to form within that time, so the oats remain soft. Top the oats with the other ingredients and some kefir yoghurt and drizzle with caramel sauce.Baked Apples
Baked apples are a great way not only to get your apple a day but to make them even sweeter and yummier naturally! All you have to do is core your apple, put it on a baking sheet, and bake at 400 F until it’s nice a soft. Sprinkle over some cinnamon and a bit of honey if you want to amp up the sweetness and you have the perfect snack or dessert!
- A delicious dessert that hails from the French country side, stuffed baked apples are sweet, tender and stuffed with nutritious ingredients. They are absolutely scrumptious!

]]>What if you could pull together a recipe with just five ingredients and minimal preparation—and still have it be one of the best things you’ve eaten? Keep reading to find out how to make a great apple pie without the stress!
Tart Apples Make For A Sweet, Delicious Pie
Ingredients
5 Granny Smith apples
2 cans of cinnamon rolls
1/2 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
If you’ve never made a fruit pie before, you might be wondering why you’d use such a tart apple to make a great dessert. The reality is that when it comes to desserts, you don’t want to create something that’s overly sweet. When something’s too sweet, you might enjoy the first bite of it, but the subsequent bites aren’t so great once you’ve been hit with a truckload of sugar.
That’s why you use tart apples like Granny Smith. Slice them up and coax their flavors out by adding the sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch to the cut apples and mixing them together.
Learn how cinnamon rolls create a great substitute for a pie crust!
Save Time By Choosing Pre-Made
Have you ever watched Guy’s Grocery Games on the Food Network? If you have, you might have seen one game called “Five Ingredients or Less”, where chefs have to cook their dish while using no more than five things they buy from the market.
To make it work, the chefs often get at least one pre-made item that contains the flavors they want. That’s what you’re doing here with the cinnamon rolls. A great apple pie includes a good cinnamon flavor throughout each bite, and cinnamon rolls cover that requirement.
While the apple flavors are getting to know each other and the oven is preheating to 350 degrees, put the cinnamon rolls to use by slicing each roll in half and putting the bottom layer in a pie dish that you’ve sprayed with non-stick oil. Once they’re in place, add in the apple slices and close off the holes with the rest of the cinnamon rolls to make your top crust. You’ve almost got this pie ready to go.
Baking, Finishing And Enjoying
Once you’ve got a hot oven and a carefully crafted pie, it’s time to cover it with foil and bake it for 35 minutes, giving you a perfect opportunity to either prepare a glaze to finish it off or to take a well-deserved break.
After 35 minutes pass, bake uncovered for the final 10 minutes to finish off the crust. Give the pie time to cool when it gets out of the oven. Whether you choose to add a glaze (honey, icing, or cinnamon sugar), or you choose to enjoy it as is, you’ve got a great creation that will taste like you spent all day in the kitchen.
Nobody else has to know that this all came together in less than two hours!
