Apple pie - YourKitchenStory special recipe

 What always attracted me to apple pie is the fact that it has apples in it! 

A baked dessert can not be as sinless since an apple a day keeps the doctor away :)

However, never liked the taste of apple pies at any of the bakeries, the pie crust was never as appealing, and apple filling was either too sweet or just tasteless.

Therefore, I decided to work on my recipe and the latest one got complete approval from all my family! So, this one is YKS special, we also call it apple cookie pie :) 

Here is the recipe for you:

Ingredients: 

For Pie crust (makes 1 big and 2 small as shown in the pic, you can adjust the quantity as per the no. you make)

• 1/2 cup maida
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 2tsp sugar powdered/ jaggery (I used sugar)
• 50 g butter
• milk for kneading 

Apple filling:

• 1 apple sliced
• 1 tsp butter
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 2 digestive biscuits powdered
• 
  
• 2 tsp jaggery powder 
• 2 tsp milk maid
• Lil milk

Method:

Step 1: Pie crust dough: Take maida, whole wheat floor, sugar and rub in 50 g butter well. Now add milk and knead the pie dough. Keep aside for half an hour. 

Step 2: Apple filling: 
Heat a tsp butter in pan
Add apples and let them cook
Add cinnamon, jaggery powder and caremalise the apples
Add biscuit crumbs, mix well
Add milk maid and a lil milk and let the filling cook a lil more

Step 3: Pie crust:
Roll the pie dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Line it in the greased pie dish, poke holes on the base with a fork.
Bake in the pre-heated oven (180 degrees) for 6 min
Let it cool a lil after its baked

Step 4: Apple pie
In the baked pie crust, add the apple filling.  
For the pie lid: roll out the pie dough and cut into hearts with a cookie cutter. For another one, cut stripes to make the check design. Place it on the filled pie and brush it with butter. 
Bake for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. 

Savour the aroma and pick a heart cookie, dunk in your hot masala tea or your favorite cappuccino  and then bite in the lovely apple pie and feel the heaven :)
