VIVIENNE'S CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Posted On: 2015-08-26 06:37:20

INGREDIENTS:

6 medium Granny Smith apples

¼ cup Brown sugar

1 Tablespoon Butter

¼ teaspoon Cinnamon

¼ teaspoon Nutmeg

1 Tablespoon Water

2 Eggs

2 Tablespoons Milk

½ cup White sugar

1 cup Flour

2 teaspoons Baking powder

½ teaspoon Mixed spice

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 175C.

Lightly grease a 3-litre ovenproof dish & sprinkle the base & sides with brown sugar.

Peel & quarter the apples, remove pips & all traces of the core. Slice apples & layer into the dish.

Dot over small pieces of the butter & sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg & water.

Separate eggs & beat the whites to a soft foam.

In a large bowl beat the two egg yolks with the milk, then beat in the white sugar.

Sift in the flour, baking powder & mixed spice.

Mix to combine, then fold in the beaten egg whites.

Spread this over the apples. (Mixture should be thick but if too thick to spread easily add a little more milk.)

Bake for 1 hour. (Check after 30 minutes, rotate dish &, if necessary, cover with foil to prevent topping overcooking before the apples are ready. The apples should be soft but still firm to the bite.)
