Try making this wonderful pastry – you won’t regret it!

Ingredients

To prepare this pie, you will need only the most affordable products that can be found in any supermarket near your home:

  • apples – 3-4 pcs.;
  • butter – 220 g;
  • chicken eggs - 3 pieces;
  • sugar – 150 g;
  • sour cream – 100 g;
  • premium wheat flour – 250 g;
  • baking powder – 1 sachet;
  • vanillin – 1 teaspoon;
  • ground cinnamon – 1/2 teaspoon;
  • brown sugar – 1 tablespoon;
  • Powdered sugar - enough to sprinkle the finished cake.

Dough preparation method

Preparing the dough is the most difficult part of this recipe, but even a beginner can handle it.

1. First, you need to separate the eggs into yolks and whites. There are different recipes for separating egg yolks from whites; the most convenient way to do this is with special separators. But if you don’t have them in your kitchen, it doesn’t matter.

The easiest way to do this without the help of kitchen appliances is to first cool the eggs (this makes it easier to separate the whites from the yolks), then poke a small hole with a needle or the tip of a knife and carefully pour in the whites. The yolk will remain in the shell. Or another way: carefully break the egg onto a wide plate and slowly remove the yolk with your fingers.

Be sure to wash your eggs in hot water first to avoid salmonella contamination. Place the separated whites in the refrigerator, as they whip better when cooled.

2. Next you will need a deep saucepan for the stove: melt the butter in it (it is important not to overheat it), remove from the stove and add sugar and vanillin to the resulting mass.

3. Then add the yolks one at a time, stirring thoroughly, and sour cream. In this recipe, it is advisable to use sour cream with a fat content of 20-30%; it is less liquid and the dough will not spread much.

Now you can add flour mixed with baking powder. You need to mix flour with baking powder in a separate bowl, otherwise the baking powder, once in the liquid, will form lumps and will not be distributed throughout the entire mass.

4. Remove the egg whites from the refrigerator, beat them until they form a thick foam and add them to the dough. Beat the resulting dough thoroughly until it becomes homogeneous; there should be no lumps or undissolved sugar.

5. Now you can pour the dough into a baking dish with a diameter of 20-25 centimeters and level it with a spatula. You can line the bottom of the pan with baking paper so that the finished cake does not stick and is easier to remove.

Decorating the pie with apples

For a Cornish apple pie you will need 3-4 medium sized apples.

1. Wash them thoroughly, peel, remove seeds and cut into thin slices. It is best to take apples that will give the recipe maximum juiciness: green, sour, hard. For example, the varieties “Simirenko” and “Grenny” are ideal.

2. Insert the apple slices into the dough in a circle with the convex side up, placing the slices close to each other. The more apples that fit on the surface of the product, the juicier it will be!

3. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top; it combines with vanilla and apples to give the baked goods an irresistible flavor.

Baking

Now you can begin the final stage of the recipe - baking.

1. Place the pan with the product in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, and bake for 45-50 minutes. You can check the degree of readiness of the dessert with a toothpick - if, after piercing the delicacy, it remains dry, then the dessert is ready. If the crumpet is raw, dough will remain on the stick.

2. When the cooking time is up, turn off the oven and let the cake stand for another 5 minutes in the closed oven. It should be remembered that the door should not be opened during the first 20 minutes of baking, as raw baked goods may settle. To ensure that the product does not burn, place a pinch of salt under the baking sheet or place a frying pan with water.

3. Remove the cake from the oven, remove from the pan onto a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cornish apple pie is ready.

Serving

Cornish apple pie can be served hot, although this wonderful dessert prepared according to this recipe will not lose its appetizing when cold.

Enjoy your tea party to you and your loved ones!

Cooking ingredients:

  • apple – 650 g;
  • yolk – 3 pcs.;
  • protein – 3 pcs. cold;
  • butter – 230 g;
  • sour cream – 125 ml;
  • baking powder - packet;
  • salt;
  • sugar – 160 g;
  • brown sugar - 1 tbsp. spoon;
  • vanilla sugar – 2 sachets;
  • flour – 260 g.

To create a Cornish apple pie, we need:

  • 4 fairly large green apples (800 grams)
  • 280 g butter
  • 200 g sugar, regular, white, it makes the dough more beautiful
  • 320 g flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 120-130g sour cream
  • Baking powder packet
  • A packet of vanilla sugar or vanillin
  • 2 tablespoons brown cane sugar, if available

Cornish apple pie recipe:

Separate the yolks from the whites, pour the whites into a separate rather deep bowl and put them in the refrigerator.

Mix softened butter with sugar, vanillin and salt using a mixer. Take a larger mixing bowl, there will be a lot of dough.

Add the yolks, mix, add sour cream, mix.

In a separate container, mix the flour well with baking powder, add it to the dough in a couple of steps and work briefly with the mixer until a thick, homogeneous mass is obtained.

Wash the mixer whisks and wipe them dry, take our whites out of the refrigerator, throw a small pinch of salt into them and beat for a couple of minutes at maximum power until stable peaks are reached (who are these peaks, I once struggled with a meringue recipe).

Now take an ordinary spoon, transfer the whites into a bowl of dough and carefully combine them into a single whole with delicate movements of the spoon from top to bottom. It's time to put the oven on preheat, the standard temperature is 180 degrees.

Grease the baking dish with butter. If you plan to serve the cake not in a mold, but on a dish, first line the mold with baking paper to make it easier to remove the product from the protruding edges of the parchment - the sponge cake turns out to be extremely delicate.

Place the dough in the mold and level it out. Peel and core the apples and cut them into neat slices into 10-12 pieces each. We stick the slices in orderly rows (and in circles in round shapes) into the dough until the end. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. If you like cinnamon, you can sprinkle it on it too.

Place the pan with the future pie in the oven for 40-55 minutes. The baking time depends significantly on the type of oven you have and on the presence of a domestic attribute of a gas oven - a saucepan with water. The main thing is not to open the oven for the first 20 minutes so that the biscuit does not settle. I check the readiness of the pie with a long wooden skewer (the kind used to bake meat), it’s very convenient.

Cornish apple pie is ready! A delicious velvety sponge cake with the silky tenderness of baked apples, a dizzying vanilla-creamy aroma of fresh baked goods... God, my men were circling around like kites waiting for prey... And here it is, happiness! Yummy! Good hot or cold, and also incredibly filling. In general, Cornish pie is now - and my love too, as I understand it, for a long time (for a long time in English - for long, right?)

PS Sorry, citizens, some of the photos unexpectedly turned out to be clumsy and creepy, when I perform the encore pie, I’ll retake them.

I hope you find my recipes useful.

Yeah, and folk wisdom, yes. If you love to ride, love and ride.

Best regards, Maria Nosova.

Method for preparing English pie with potatoes and meat

An English pie with potatoes and meat can be baked from puff pastry, but if you don’t have time to prepare it, then regular soft kefir dough will do.

It is prepared simply: mix kefir, eggs, melted butter, 12 teaspoons of fine salt and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Mix the ingredients until smooth, gradually add wheat flour and soda. If the dough turns out liquid, add a little flour. Leave the finished dough at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Mixing the dough for English pie

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling for the English pie with potatoes and meat. Boil the potatoes in their skins, peel them, pass them through a potato press or grate them on a fine grater. Fry the carrots in oil or also boil them in their skins.

Mash the boiled potatoes in their jackets

Add mayonnaise and salt to taste to the potatoes, mix.

Add mayonnaise and salt

Mix minced meat with chopped onion, season with salt and spices. In England, Indian spices are held in high esteem, so I recommend curry powder for meat.

Mix chopped minced meat, fried onions and spices

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan, fry the minced meat for 5-6 minutes, stir so that the meat is fried evenly.

Fry mince for English pie

Sprinkle the work surface with flour and roll out the dough into a circle 1 centimeter thick, approximately 1.5 times the diameter of the mold.

Grease the mold with olive oil and carefully place the dough.

Place the rolled out dough into the baking pan

Place a layer of boiled potatoes with mayonnaise on the bottom of the pie, then add boiled or fried carrots and distribute evenly.

Place potatoes on the dough and boiled carrots on top

Place the fried meat on the carrots. Do not add minced meat directly from the frying pan: it should not be hot, the meat should be cooled a little.

Place fried minced meat on top of carrots

Raise the edges of the dough and form a pie with a hole in the center for ventilation.

For the glaze, mix raw egg yolk and a tablespoon of milk, brush the dough to create a golden brown crust when baking.

Close the cake, leaving the middle open, and brush with glaze

We use a fork to create relief patterns so that the top doesn’t seem boring.

Making a pattern on the dough

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius, bake English pie with potatoes and meat for about 35 minutes until golden brown.

Baking an English pie with potatoes and meat in the oven

The thing about English pie is that when you cut it, all the layers of filling are visible. Someday I’ll get around to making a multi-layer pie, so that the cut shows all the richness and variety of vegetables, meat and offal - a classic recipe, so to speak.
