So Saugar being the all-american boy loves his apple pie - however I can't imagine making a full-on pie with the crust etc - i have no idea how much butter is in that thing and i don't have the patience. So I got really excited when I came across this recipe - it's not quite an apple pie but it was SO good - both by itself or even better warm with some vanilla ice cream. AND it was SO easy! I did a little tweaking to the recipe because I like a bit of spice (so added the cinnamon and nutmeg)
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Flour
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 large apple chopped (the pieces were a bit more than 1 cup - I would use a more tart apple next time, the one i used was sweet and the thing was a tad too sweet)
Handful of chopped nuts (I used almonds which were good but I can imagine walnuts or pecans would be great)
1 Egg
1 tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of nutmeg & Pinch of cinnamon
In a bowl beat the egg first and then beat in the sugar. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients (Flour, baking powder, salt). Mix the wet and the dry ingredients - note that the batter will be very thick. Fold in the apples and the nuts. Add the spices. Pour into a greased cake/pie tin and bake for 25 mins at 350F.
It was great just warm out of the oven!
