Cheat's apple pie with golden syrup is a quick and easy dessert that doesn't compromise on taste. This recipe is perfect for those moments when you crave a homemade apple pie but don't have the time or patience for a traditional version. With a few basic ingredients, you can whip up a delicious pie that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the apple mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are slightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup cubed butter, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 egg yolk, and 1 cup self-raising flour.
- Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Stir in 1/3 cup sliced almonds and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- Spoon the cooked apple mixture into an ovenproof pie dish or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Spoon the crumble mixture over the apples, making sure to cover them completely. Gently press the crumble mixture down with the back of a spoon to compact it slightly.
- Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the Cheat's Apple Pie warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Select the right apples: For the best results, choose apples that are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice contrast to the sweetness of the syrup.
- Prep the apples properly: Peel, core, and slice the apples evenly to ensure they cook evenly. This will help achieve a consistent texture throughout the pie.
- Use cold butter: When making the crust, use cold butter to achieve a flaky texture. Cut it into small pieces and work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.
- Don't overmix the dough: Mix the dough ingredients just until they come together. Overmixing can result in a tough crust.
- Rest the dough: Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to handle and help it retain its shape during baking.
This cheat's apple pie with golden syrup is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert that will impress your family and friends. With its sweet and slightly spicy flavor, this pie is perfect for any occasion. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
