Apple pie in an Apple

 

This is one recipe you're going to want to save for special events, when you'd like to impress the guests, or make the event more unique. Most of all, prepare it for those you love.  Not because this recipe is especially hard to do, but because it gives a sophisticated and original impression!   This recipe is for 4 people, so multiply the amounts according to the amount of people you need to prepare for.   Ingredients:   5-6 Granny Smith green apples A teaspoon of cinnamon 1/4 cup sugar 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar Pie strips - Can be bought pre-made     Alternatively, here is a recipe for making pie dough:   Ingredients: 1/3 cup sugar 150 grams of cold butter, cut into cubes 1 and 2/3 cups of flour A pinch of salt One egg yolk Half a tablespoon of cold water   To make the dough:   Process the flour, sugar, butter cubes and the pinch of salt in a food processor until you get little dough crumbs. Then you scramble the yolk with the water and gradually add it to the dough crumbs while the food processor keeps going, until big chunks of dough are created.    Make the dough into one lump and flatten it to a flat circle shape. Wrap the circle and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.     The base:   First, take 4 apples and cut their tops off. Remove their contents carefully, without harming the peel. You can use a knife and spoon for this.   * Keep the content of the apples, you're going to need them later.     The fill:   If you couldn't get the apple content in same-size chunks, use more apples, peel them and cut them to little cubes. Mix the apples cubes with sugar and cinnamon in a bow. The amounts of sugar and cinnamon can be changed according to personal taste.   Now fill the empty apples with this mixture you've prepared.     Baking:   Create 6 cm (about 2.5 inches) strips from the pie dough and cover the apple from above with strips woven into a lattice. Pour water into a glass or stoneware oven tray, just enough to cover the bottom with a thin layer. Put the apples inside and cover with aluminum foil. Put this in a pre-heated oven in a temperature of 190 C (370 F). Bake for about 20-25 minutes.   Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes, until the pie dough becomes gets a golden brown.  Tips:  To enhance the pastry, sprinkle it with sugar before baking. Serve with a ball of vanilla ice-cream and a mint leaf garnish.   All that's left is to stay humble in the face of so many compliments!
