Let’s drool over my apple pie and pizzas photos! ;-)

I felt like baking today. I wanted to have something sweet after dinner and also to finish up the old decrepit looking apples in the fridge, hehehe.

So I made free-form apple pie. It’s called free-form because you don’t need a pie pan to bake this apple pie.

I used this recipe for the pie base. It tastes a bit shortbread-y but just right for this kind of pie Smile.

The apples pulak, I cored them and sliced them into rings. Then I cooked them with a bit of brown sugar and a bit of lemon juice until cooked and not watery anymore. Let it cool completely before filling it into the base.

Once the dough’s ready, I rolled it into a big round size on a baking paper. Leaving a 3cm border, sprinkle hazelnut meal/ ground hazelnut over pastry. Top it with the cooked apple. Then fold the pastry edge onto the apple filling, leaving half exposed. Then I brushed the leftover eggwhite on the pastry top, sprinkle some sugar and flaked almonds on it. Baked it at 200°C until golden colour.

Pastu, makan dengan vanilla ice cream Smile. Heaven on earth, hehehe…..

The Other Half had 2 helpings of the apple pie. He said he’s not counting his calories tonight, hahaha. I guess he’s already below 73kg so he’s not too worried if he occasionally splurges.

Then, tak satisfied with only baking apple pie, I baked pizza for dinner.

The Little Misses had saveloy pizza with cheesy crust.

I rolled the edges over grated cheddar but I’m not sure they noticed it or not….

And we had pineapple n onion pizza eaten with grilled mixed seafood and salad.

Anis,
pepperoni tak payah fry dulu, terus letak atas pizza. Kalau sausage yg slalu kita makan dgn bun tu, kena fry dulu. Kalau saveloy/frankfurts, I slalu just boil a bit utk panaskan dia aje. They are already cooked :-).

Al,
Kadang2 tangan ni terasa2 nak membaking, terus baking macam2. Nasib baik the apple pie and pizzas were delicious :-)

Annisa,
apple pie n pizza memang slalunya menggiurkan kan :-)

relaxnhappy,
I slalunya memang masak pizza 2 toppings, 1 for adults n 1 for kids, hehehe. Bila I malas giler2 baru buat 1 topping aje :-).

Shidah,
I tak suka sgt seafood pizza tapi bila makan pizza kosong with grilled seafood, sedap pulaknya, hahaha.

Maya,
Apple pie ala lazy mode, hehehe. I couldn't be bothered to roll the dough out nicely and evenly into a pie pan thus the free-form version, heeee....

My MAA said...

lemongrass said...

Shahlin,
hahaha....belum lagi tengok we all makan pizza tu. Sure lagi lah drooling you :-)

Alamanda,
Uish, banyak tu nak turun. Takpe, buat sikit2, insyaAllah, lama2 banyak lah nanti. Dia ambik masa bertahun2 kan nak capai berat 144kg tu, so kenalah ambik masa bertahun2 nak kurangkan berat sikit2.

Sooyaree,
hehehe...I can claim my dessert to be healthier kan sbb ada apple, hahaha

Sue,
I love apple pies, I can eat the whole thing in 1 go! :-)

Love,
Hahahaha....make sure you have a tissue nearby ;-)

Maz,
