“One apple A day keeps the doctor away!”. Who does not know this saying? I’m a self-confessed plant eater, but I don’t think it’s done with an Apple is enough. Nevertheless, they taste damn tasty, are healthy and soon the main harvest season begins. Reason enough for a delicious, simple and yet ingenious Apple pie recipe. The highlight here are the caramelized apples at the bottom of the Cake’s . I’ll tell you more about how this is done below. At this point I would also like to briefly brag again, because we have such incredibly great apple trees in our garden and I can hardly wait to harvest the next batch.
Apples – healthy, regional superfood
In fact, it is not essential to go in search of tropical fruits if you want to do something good for yourself. An apple contains a whopping 30 vitamins, trace elements, fiber, minerals and secondary plant compounds. In fact, there is hardly any food that contains as many healthy and complex micronutrients as a simple apple. The numerous vitamins (C, E, B1, B2 and B6) have a positive effect on the immune system and protect our cells. Minerals such as potassium, iron, iodine and zinc are essential for our muscles and nerves. Last but not least, dietary fiber and especially the pectin it contains keep you full for a long time. Of course, not all sensitive micronutrients are contained in the baking process and therefore it is always worthwhile to simply snack on an apple raw in between.
apple cake all day!
Let’s get back to our delicious apple pie. You don’t need much for this except a little time, patience, a handful of ingredients and of course a baking dish. I use a 22cm diameter springform pan here, but anything between 20cm and 25cm will work. The larger the baking pan, the flatter the cake. It always tastes the same (what am I talking about) J.
The ingredients list starts with the apples. I used corn apples from the garden, but any other varieties with a slight acidity will work (e.g., Granny Smith, Cox Orange, or many other local varieties). The apples are first mixed with a little raw cane sugar, cinnamon, frying oil and a pinch of salt and baked without batter. This caramelizes them and gives them a particularly fine touch. For the dough we need a leisamei, Almond milk , lemon juice, baking soda. Raw cane sugar, maple syrup, coconut oil, applesauce, baking powder, gluten-free flour and rolled oats. Add to this a handful of spices such as vanilla, ginger, cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt.
For the topping I chose plain powdered sugar and homemade vanilla ice cream but it also tastes Coconut cream excellent with it.
Get started with this delicious, no-fuss apple pie. I hope you enjoy baking and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
