Apple Pie (with Cream Cheese Custard)

You put custard cream in an apple pie, right?!
I happened to have some cream cheese in the fridge, so I turned it into a kind of custard - and wow! It turned into a wonderful combination!
Cheese and apples really go well together, so please give it a try!
The key is the cream cheese custard!
You can make it in a pan of course...but to make the small amount that you need, the microwave works best!
I tried making mini pies in madeleine molds this time although it was rather tedious. Everyone said they were so cute and they got rave reviews!!!
You can use any leftover filling as jam. Recipe by youerika

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the apples into wedges, and combine with sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon in a pan. Simmer over low heat. Watch the pan and stir the contents occasionally so that they don't burn.
- 2
Soften and warm the cream cheese in the microwave. Add all the custard ingredients except for the flour and mix. Strain the mixture through a sieve, then add the flour, taking care that no lumps form.
- 3
When the flour is mixed in, microwave the mixture for a few seconds at a time, mixing in between. The custard will gradually stiffen, so mix well so that no lumps form.
- 4
When the custard is warm and creamy, cover with plastic film and leave to cool. Put in the refrigerator to chill.
- 5
Stop simmering the apples while they still retain their shape (or if you prefer a jam-like texture, keep simmering). Leave to cool.
- 6
Dust a cutting board with flour, and roll out the room temperature pastry dough to your desired thickness and size. Transfer the dough to a pie tin(s). Don't forget the strips for decoration!
- 7
Put some of the cream cheese custard on the bottom, and line it with the apples as nicely as you can. Top with decorative strips of pastry in a lattice pattern, and brush with egg wash.
- 8
Bake for about 30 minutes in a 180°C oven, and you're done!

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 -
Apple Pie Apple Pie
This pastry is simpler to make than puff pastry and contains less butter so doesn't taste too buttery. Without the need to fold the dough, this recipe is finished very easy.When kneading the pastry, use chilled butter and cold water, and knead it carefully so that you don't activate the gluten. If it becomes glutinous then the pie crust will become hard and the pie will lose some of its flavor. The skin on Jonathan apples will retain its lovely red color even when boiled, so if you leave some skin on it will make the pie look even better. If you don't have any Jonathan apples then add some lemon juice to the apples when boiling. I have specified 500 g apples in the ingredients list but you could probably fit in up to 1 kg.
