Apple pie

So many nuts


- huge ones -


and so many chestnuts!


But this post is about apples. Also huge ones - boscoop, a sour variety meant for cooking - from my mother's garden, which I used to make a pie. I follow my friend K.'s simple and delicious recipe. It has lots of fruit and only a little bit of pastry around it.

2 eggs
125 g sugar
125 g flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
750 g apples
a bit of dried raisins
butter

Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites.
Then beat the yolks with half the amount of sugar until you get a creamy and light coloured mix.
Add the egg whites.
Mix baking powder and cinnamon into the flour and add this to the egg whites.
Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into pieces.
Add them to the mixture together with the raisins and mix well.
Grease a pie dish with butter and add a little flour.
Add the mixture.
Sprinkle the remainder of the sugar on top and add a few pieces of butter.
Bake in the oven for 50 min at 180° C.

The pie was eaten by candle light in a cosy appartment ;-)

Note: I added a bit of rum.
