Mini Apple Pie Recipe

The best scent in the world is that of apple pie in the oven

Everyone likes apple pie, or at least they should.

This recipe is more about how I like to make my pies than how to make one.

This time I used a mini-pie making kit that I’ve been itching to use.  It was easy enough except I think I cut the top mold for the crust wrong.  I felt it was too small.  In any case my tummy did not mind.

So how do I like my pies?

Food_Recipe_MiniApplePie_Step1A) I mix apples – granny smith and something less tart like Fuji or Honeycrisp

B) I drizzle them in cognac and/or vanilla extract.  I don’t short change that step.  Yes it means I simmer my apples before baking to reduce the liquid, but I’ll pay that price for boozy apples.

C) I throw in some grated ginger and maple syrup cause I like how it melds with the cinnamon

D) I’ve settled on a gluten free crust recipe that is:

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 a stick of butter and 3/4 a stick of cream cheese (about 1 cup total)
  • Up to 1/4 cup ice water
  • 100 grams of rice, 100 grams of tapioca starch, and 50 grams each of potato and cornstarch.
  • 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum
  • I now only mix my dough using the food processor and place the dough in the fridge or freezer before rolling out in between dusted wax paper.
