For our 7th Yule calendar surprise, we have another Yule pie recipe! This one is called "Pycella's Fast Apple Pie". Simple, tasty and fast to make, this pie is perfect for the Yule table.

 

Pycella's Fast Yule Pie

For the crust:
75 g butter
1 dl sugar
1 dl whipped cream
1 egg
2.5 dl wheat flour
1.5 tsp baking powder

For the filling:
3 apples, peeled, cored, sliced
2 tbsp chopped almonds / pine nuts

For the topping:
1 egg
1 dl cream
0.5 dl sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
1 tsp cinnamon


For the crust, melt the butter and let it cool down in a bowl. Mix the baking powder into the wheat flour. Mix sugar, cream, egg and the wheat flour with the melted butter. Press into the bottom and edges of a greased pie pan. Place the apple slices on the pie crust and sprinkle the crushed almonds and/or pine nuts on top. Prebake the apple pie in the oven (200 °C) for 15 minutes.

For the topping, mix the egg, cream, sugar, vanilla sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and pour the mix over the prebaked pie. Bake the pie for another 15 minutes or until it is baked properly. Serve the warm pie with vanilla sauce or ice cream.
