Apple Pie With Almond Flakes Topping

Now, with just the two of us eating in, cooking in small portion is actually very difficult at times and normally I will cook a one -dish meal..like fried rice or make a lamb stew with rice, noodles with rice wine soup if I am hooked on a drama (“,) I am happy when the Piggies are back, then there will five of us having meals together..and making cooking lotz easier. I will then be able to cook 3 dishes and one dessert…haha that will satisfy the desire in the adventurous me , to try out new dishes and I love to make desserts especially involving making pie dough. And the best thing is ...the Piggies are back to be my taster ;)))

Lately, I made some extra pie dough for keeping. Pastry can keep for a week in the chiller and it will turned out as good as just made. Thaw it for 15 - 20 mins and it will be ready for use, so it serve a good purpose for me as I can then make just 4 apple pies for Daddy and myself as tea snack or as after dinner dessert with a scoop of ice cream of any flavor :)

I made some apple pies with almond flakes as fillings and toppings and it turned out yummilicious!

I used dailydelicious’s good for everything pie dough for this apple pie, I added in some toasted almond flakes to let it have some crunch feel when biting into the pie and the nutty fragrance gave extra oomph to the apple pie. I brushed the top with egg wash, then throw some almond flakes on the top of the pie and bake for 20-25 minutes or till golden brown.

Ingredients for the fillings:

1 green apple - diced into small cubes

1 red apple - diced into small cubes

some lemon/lime juice

2 tbsp brown castor sugar

1 tsp corn starch

1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

1/2 tsp nutmeg powder

2 tbsp raisins

some toasted almond flakes -

Mixed the above ingredients together except the almond flakes. Cook it for a few minutes if you want the apples to be soft. Add in some toasted almond flakes last.

Enjoy!
