[Guest guest]

From another board, here is a FANTASTIC apple recipe!!!

 

" Appelpaj " Swedish Apple Pie

 

4 to 5 med. apples Granny Smith or Gala peeled, core & sliced

1 1/4 cups sugar (if using Gala apples reduce the sugar to scant cup)

3 tsps. cinnamon

dash of cardamom (optional but I always use it)

3/4 cups butter or margarine

1 cup flour

1 egg slightly beaten

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a pie pan or glass pie plate.

Peel, core and slice apples and fill pie plate 3/4 full with slices.

Mix only 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon and cardamom if used,

mix well

and sprinkle over the apple slices.

In a small saucepan melt butter and remove from heat. Add balance of

sugar,

flour and egg. Stir to mix well. Pour over apples . Bake for 45 mins.

Note*

The crust forms and goes through the pie, it's really a unique pastry.

Serve

hot with soy or regular ice cream.

I use a 9 inch pie plate.
