Apple Pot-Pie Recipe
I always make apple crumble for desert but this time I decided to be experimental with some left-over tart dough that I had in the fridge, got ramekins and made apple pot-pie instead! It is really easy to make and comforting especially during a wet, windy and chilly day!
Ingredients
- 1 red apple - cored, peeled and roughly sliced
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)
- 2 ramekins
- Left-over tart dough (enough to form a cover for each ramekin)
- Tart dough:
- 225g plain flour
- 125g butter
- 55g icing sugar
- 1 egg, whisked
- A dash of vanilla essence
Directions
- Left-over tart dough:
- Cream the softened butter with sugar in a mixer until smooth, fluffy and light.
- Add the egg (half at a time) and beat at a low speed. Mix in the vanilla essence.
- Sift the flour in two batches, combine all the ingredients and knead into a dough.
- Pie filling:
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon powder into the sliced apple and layer into the ramekins.
- Cut two round shapes from the dough to form a cover on the ramekins.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until the pie is cooked through. (Check your own oven for specifications).
- Note: Once the pie is light brown, use a toothpick to see that it is cooked through. Let the pies sit in the oven for 5 minutes before serving warm. The apples inside would be nice and warm.
