It's been some time since we posted in English... this recipe is in English because all Dutch people already know how to bake a great apple pie! The Dutch apple pie you buy in the grocery stores in the USA are NOT the real thing. The "Dutch" word is just a marketing instrument.
This post describes the "current" recipe we use on Jedi. We'll be testing some variations soon, so we might follow-up on this posting ourselves.
As in all our posts, click the photo's to see a larger version.
Ingredients:
- 800 - 1000g firm (sour) apples
- 300g white flour
- 125g brown sugar (any sugar will work)
- 2 tbsp plain sugar
- 200g cold (salted) butter
- 100g raisins
- 2 tbsp preserve or custard powder or almond paste
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- lemon or lime juice
- salt
- rum (of course!)
Peel the apples, take out the center and cut them into slices. Sprinkle some lemon juice over them to prevent discoloring. soak the raisins in rum.
Mix the flour, salt and brown sugar in a bowl. Cut the butter into small blocks, add them to the bowl and mix them in using two knives. Add the yoke of one egg and kneed until you get a nice dough ball.
Grease the form, use 2/3 of the dough to line the form. Spread the preserve or custard powder or almond paste on the dough.
Drain the raisins. Mix apples, raisins, cinnamon and plain sugar. Put this mixture into the form.
Take the leftover 1/3 of the dough. On a clean and smooth surface sprinkle some flour and roll the dough flat (2 mm thick). Cut long strips, remove them with a knife and place them over the pie like a braid.
Take the second egg and beat it. Spread it on top of the pie. Bake for appr. 45 min. at 225 degrees Celsius.
Let it cool some and serve still warm with whipped cream on top and a strong cup of coffee. A good Dutch joke when someone asks how you want your coffee: with apple pie !
Bake another one ;-)
ciao!

Moqueca hebben we onlangs voor het eerst gegeten aan boord van de "Queen of Hearts". Dat was een soep ipv het hier beschreven 1-pans gerecht dat met rijst gegeten wordt. Om er een soep van te maken is natuurlijk zo eenvoudig als het toevoegen van meer visbouillon.
