APPLE PIE

Yesterday I decided to make an Apple Pie. It is a very easy recipe to prepare.

Apple is very beneficial to our health containing various vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, B1, B2, niacin, vitamins C and E, pectin and minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, potassium and iron. Some of the benefits are: improvements in the nervous system, reducing anxiety, improves sleep, slow ageing, prevents throat infections, purifies the blood and prevents stone formation.

Recipe :  

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Puff pastry pie
• 1,5 kg peeled and cored apples (becomes1 Kg)
• 1 medium lemon
• 50g unsalted butter
• 80g Brown Sugar
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 1  small cup of Port Wine 

 METHOD:

Peel the apples and remove their centre. Cut half the apples into "half moons" and the other half into small cubes, squeezing lemon on top so that they don´t go dark (oxidation).
In a large pan, melt butter with brown sugar and cinnamon on medium heat. As soon as it starts to boil, add the larger apple pieces and the Port Wine, letting them cook for about 10 minutes.  
Turn the oven to 180º C (360º F). Add the remaining apple pieces and cook for another 4 minutes. Remove frying pan from heat and allow to cool.
Extend the dough with the sheet of parchment paper in a pie dish by adapting it and punching it with a fork. Pour the stuffing into the dough, spreading carefully.
Bake the pie in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes.

Allow to cool and sprinkle with cinnamon powder.
 
Enjoy your Apple Pie!
