Whole Apple Pie

I decided to try to make an apple pie using a whole apple. Through trial and error, I came up with this fairly easy recipe.
・When cooking the apples, place them in a microwavable container, leaving a little room to move the apples around. Cover them with a lid and plastic wrap, but be very careful removing this when the apples are cooked as the steam will be very hot.
・Make sure the apples are thoroughly cooled when you wrap the pie crust around them. You can chill them in the refrigerator if you prefer. Recipe by nyonta

Peel and core the apples. Place the apples in a heat proof container and sprinkle the sugar and lemon juice. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and heat in a 500w microwave for 3 minutes.
- 3
The apples will release their juices. As this happens, it is important to roll the apples around in the sugared water in order to coat the apples evenly. Heat for an additional 5 minutes, turn the apples again, and heat a final 5 minutes.
- 4
When the apples have become quite soft, they will release a lot of juice. At this point you can discard the liquid, and then add in the butter and brandy. Roll the apples around to thoroughly coat them.
- 5
When the apples have thoroughly cooled, soak up any remaining liquid with a paper towel. Insert the sponge cake into the hole left by removing the core.
- 6
Roll a piece of the pastry to 15cm squared and 3mm thick. Wrap the pastry around the apple, starting with the bottom side facing up as the wrapped apple will be turned over.
- 7
Cut away excess pastry with a knife, and turn the apple upside down so the seam is on the bottom. Shape the wrapped apple into a round shape.
- 8
Make 4 leaves and stem shapes. You can trace the veins of the leaves into the dough. Also cut rectangles to act as stems.
- 9
Open a hole in the middle of the top of the apple using a bamboo skewer.
- 10
Place the apples onto a baking tray, and paint them with an eggwash. Place on the leaves, and paint them with the wash as well. Cook in an oven preheated to 190℃ for 15 minutes.
- 11
After the apples have baked for 15 minutes, paint the stems with the eggwash, and lay these out on the cooking sheet to bake with the apples. Bake for an additional 10 minutes
- 12
After 10 minutes, remove the baking tray from the oven, and push the puffed stems into the top of the apples. Now the pies are almost done. Just bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the pies have reached your desired shade of golden brown.
- 13
When they have baked, brush the pies with apricot jam.
- 14
Your pies are complete. The apples are shockingly soft, rich, and piping hot!

Apple Pie Apple Pie
I hand made some pastry, so I wanted to eat an apple pie flavored with lots of my favorite cinnamon.-Be careful not to burn your fingers when removing the plastic wrap after making the filling.-You can use broken castella cake because it will be covered with apple. About 1cm of cake at the bottom is good enough.-About half of the pastry will be left over from this recipe, so use the rest for another sweet. Recipe by nyonta cookpad.japan -
My Apple Pie My Apple Pie
Now that it's getting colder, it's the season for pie. And when I think of Jonathan apples that means one thing, apple pie. I'm not very good at using normal flaky pastry and the apples get soggy, so I always bake the apples first and make the pie like this.If the pastry becomes too soft while carrying out these steps then please continue doing them while chilling the pastry in the fridge. The amount of apples you will need will change according to the size of the pie and apples. This pie isn't so sweet, so please adjust the sugar amount to make it sweeter if you wish.

Classic Apple Pie Classic Apple Pie
After combining and tinkering with various recipes, I settled on this version. Good flavor and no soggy bottom. Leaving out excess fluid from the apples ensures that you don’t end up with a runny mess. The apples bake up nicely and even retain a very slight bite instead of turning into mush. If you like really soft apples in your pie and a runnier inside, simply add some of the excess apple fluid back into the pie.#Holiday #Thanksgiving #Dessert #American Chris Gan -

About 20 years ago, I learned from an acquaintance that you can make apple pie without making the filling using raw apples. That was the start of this recipe. If you use raw apples as-is, they exude water, which makes the puff pastry soggy. Thus, after a lot of trial and error, I came to this recipe.The panko absorb the moisture that comes out of the apples. The butter adds richness. I use dried panko.
