Title: Apple pies
Post by: Halex on March 12, 2012, 11:07:15 pm: Yes making 25 mini apple pies today.

Have 3 kgs of apples. Not sure how many I need, will do them in stages.

Ok, peel apples, chop in TM, add sugar, then how do I cook?

Love some help.

Thanks

Hally

Post by: Wonder on March 13, 2012, 04:42:09 am: If there's only 3 in each batch you are going to need to 9 batches which will give you 27 - assuming there might be 8 in each batch.

I just use puff pastry in the pie maker Bubbles.
I think Hally said she used Borg's brand as it was on special. Have used that brand too and it's been fine.

Post by: Amy :-) on June 01, 2012, 12:49:39 pm: I reckon you gotta have custard with apple pie ;D
Title: Re: Apple pies
Post by: meganjane on June 01, 2012, 12:59:53 pm: When I make apple turnovers, I steam the apples in a container in the Varoma with custard powder (I know, I know,,,,E102) and sugar. Thickens them nicely with some flavour. Then encase them in a circle of puff pastry. It always lifts at the edges, so when cool, pipe in some whipped cream!

Title: Re: Apple pies
Post by: dede on June 01, 2012, 11:26:34 pm: I brought some cooking apples yesterday from the veggie van and when I brought them inside I realized that I already had heaps . So I think some apple pies are on the menu :)
Title: Re: Apple pies
Post by: Yvette on June 01, 2012, 11:30:54 pm: I am going to make pies soon. Would you use puff pastry on the top and bottom or short pastry on the bottom?
Title: Re: Apple pies
Post by: Halex on June 01, 2012, 11:44:06 pm: Think I might make some more too. Last time, the bought pastry was shortcrust.

I would use shortcrust for both or bottom shortcrust & top puff pastry.

Title: Re: Apple pies
Post by: judydawn on June 02, 2012, 12:34:23 am: I agree with Hally, make your own shortcrust from the EDC for the bottoms and use puff pastry sheets for the tops. I've done it that way when I have time but have also used puff pastry top and bottom when in a hurry. My own shortcrust didn't brown enough for the tops I found.

Post by: Yvette on June 02, 2012, 02:03:30 am: Thanks Judy I have some bought pastry in the freezer so won't make my own just have to buy the apples. DH is going away for work tomorrow so might make them next week now :)
Title: Re: Apple pies
Post by: Bubbles on June 03, 2012, 07:50:48 am: Thanks Mcmich, Hally & JD, I always get confused about which pastry to use :-))
Title: Re: Apple pies
Post by: Yvette on June 03, 2012, 01:19:40 pm: If you only use the apples and sugar is that enough? You don't need anything else to thicken or are they thick enough?
