Air pies

We present to you another step-by-step recipe (with photos) for apple pies made in the oven. For the test take:

• 550 g flour;
• milk (300 ml);
• one egg;
• a pinch of salt;
• 11 g dry yeast;
• 160 g sugar;
• 50 g cow butter;
• ¼ tsp. vanillin.

For the filling we take:

• 50 g raisins (optional);
• five apples (700 g);
• ½ tsp. cinnamon (optional);
• six large spoons of sugar.

To grease the pies you need to have:

• 2 tbsp. l. water;
• one egg.

Prepare this dish like this:

1. Make a dough first. To create it you will need one and a half tbsp. flour, 80 g sugar, yeast and flour. Next one art. l. flour, brew ¼ tbsp. boiling milk. Pour the milk into the flour gradually, stirring quickly to avoid lumps.
2. Heat the remaining glass of milk to 34 °C, dissolve sugar (80 g) in it and pour into the brewed flour. Add yeast and stir until smooth.
3. Sift the flour for the dough and pour the liquid part into it. The consistency of the dough should be identical to medium-density sour cream.
4. Now cover the dough with a cloth and place it in a warm room for 50 minutes. The mass should increase by 2 times. First, it will form a “cap” on which small bubbles will appear. When the “cap” settles a little and the bubbles decrease, you’re done!
5. Now melt the butter until it is lukewarm.
6. Pour the prepared sponge dough into the rest of the flour. Beat the egg with salt and sugar and add it there. Mix everything and combine with melted butter.
7. The resulting dough may stick to your hands, but do not rush to add flour. Make a ball test in this way: squeeze the dough in your hand and squeeze it through your index finger and thumb. If the ball will hold its shape, do not add flour. Just knead the dough very well.
8. Place the finished dough in a warm room for 40 minutes. Then knead and let it sit for another 40 minutes. It should increase in volume by 3 times.
9. There is no need to add flour when cutting the dough. Just smear your hands and table with vegetable oil.
10. Now make the apple filling for the pies. Peel the fruit, remove the cores, and chop finely. Mix apples with sugar. Set aside for 20 minutes. Then squeeze and add cinnamon.
11. Divide the dough into 16 parts. Form round cakes and place the filling on them one spoon at a time. Seal the pies in the same way as dumplings.
12. Cover a baking sheet with parchment, place the pieces on it tightly so that they “grow” upward and do not spread across the sheet.
13. Cover the sheet with a cloth and place in a warm room for 20 minutes.
14. Brush the products with egg beaten with water.
15. Bake the pies for 15 minutes at 180°C. Then reduce the temperature to 150 °C and bake for another 12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
16. Cover the products with a cloth and leave for 15 minutes. The pies will become even more airy and soft.

Charlotte with apples and nuts in French

It's safe to say that French cuisine is the most exquisite in the world. A special niche in it is occupied by desserts and pastries - sweet and sour cherry clafoutis (something between a pie and a casserole), savory crêpes Suzette with orange sauce, famous croissants with various fillings. The names alone make your mouth water.

Charlotte is no exception; she also has French roots. It is one of the varieties of pudding. The difference between this dish and the traditional Russian one is that it is prepared using bread soaked (in butter or egg mixture). The apples are not placed raw, but boiled with sugar.

Serve classic charlotte with ice cream or whipped cream. Yes, the French really know a lot about cooking! Let's try to prepare a sophisticated dessert.

We will need:

• Apples – 7 pieces
• Sugar – 100 grams
• Butter – 300 grams
• Milk - 120 milliliters
• White bread or loaf - 2 rolls
• Corn starch - 2 teaspoons
• Vanilla sugar - 1 sachet
• Nuts – walnuts, hazelnuts or pine

Step-by-step cooking process:

• Melt 50 grams of butter. Place diced apples in a frying pan and simmer for 7 minutes with the lid closed over medium heat.

• Add sugar, simmer for another 10 minutes. As a result, the apples should look like candied fruits.

• Mix the starch thoroughly in milk at room temperature. Pour this mixture over the apples. Without stopping stirring, simmer the filling for another minute. Then remove from the heat.

• Let's prepare the bread - cut it into thin pieces, lightly dry it in the oven.

Do not fry bread until it turns brown. It just needs to become slightly crispy.

• Melt the remaining butter.
• Let's take a baking dish and start laying it out with bread, first dipping each piece into butter.

Place the pieces of bread overlapping so that the filling does not fall out later. Cut some of the bread into thinner slices to place vertically along the sides of the pan.

• Then spread the apple filling and cover it with a layer of soaked bread.

• Bake for about an hour at 180 degrees.
• Sprinkle the finished pie with finely chopped nuts.

This charlotte does not have to be made with apples. They can be replaced with pears, plums or canned peaches. You can also add raisins to the filling. And bread can be soaked in a mixture of butter and milk. This trick helps reduce the calorie content of the dish. The taste, of course, changes, but it still turns out very tasty. Be sure to try this dessert!

Apple filling for yeast pies in the oven

The filling for pies in the oven can also be prepared in the traditional way. You need to use sugar syrup. For 1 kg of apples take 3 cups of sugar and 300 ml of water. You can add a little lemon juice and even zest. The apples are washed, cut into slices, then poured with pre-prepared warm syrup, boiled after boiling for several minutes, stirring with a wooden spatula. Before use, the filling must be cooled and excess liquid drained off. You can add pears to apples.

The coziness of the hearth is created by the aroma of pies

The extraordinary aroma of homemade baked goods creates an atmosphere of comfort and warmth. It’s so nice to gather everyone around the family table for evening tea. How can you surprise your loved ones this time? Prepare golden pies by baking them in a frying pan or on a baking sheet in the oven. The filling for apple pies can be made according to one of the recipes, each of which has its own unique taste. Add other ingredients such as fruits, raisins, nuts.

Option 1. Filling for apple pies with cinnamon

1. Peel the apples and cut into small slices or cubes.
2. Add granulated sugar and cinnamon, stir.
3. Simmer over medium heat for no more than 15 minutes.
4. The filling is ready after cooling.

Option 2. Filling with raisins and lemon juice

For this recipe, sweet soft fruits are more suitable, since such a filling for apple pies will not be cooked and will remain raw. Mix apples, peeled and grated on a coarse grater, with sugar. To prevent them from darkening, squeeze lemon juice into the mixture. Add the washed and scalded raisins. The filling is ready. The resulting mass is “juicy” enough for making small pies, so it is more suitable for use in large pies baked in the oven.

Option 3. Vanilla-apple filling for pies

Place finely chopped apples in a frying pan and, stirring, fry in butter for 5-7 minutes, add sugar and vanilla, simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Option 4. Filling for apple pies with starch

1. Mix apples, pre-peeled and cut, with lemon juice.
2. In a saucepan, combine potato or corn starch, sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and a little water. Boil until thickened for one to two minutes.
3. Add apples to the sauce and simmer for seven to eight minutes until soft. Once cooled, use for both large and small pies.

How to cook apple pies with filling

1. Separate small pieces from the finished yeast dough and roll them into flat cakes.

2. Place apple pie filling in the center of each circle and seal. You can twist the edge into a pigtail and go over the top to secure it with a fork. This will be an original and beautiful design.

3. Let the pies sit until they “fit.”

5. Fry in a frying pan in vegetable oil until the pies are golden brown, or place in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees. Approximate baking time is 15-20 minutes.

6. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the finished pies with powdered sugar. Serve with tea or complement with milk cream sauce. Bon appetit!

Other fillings

If you don’t have fresh apples, which is quite possible in winter, use the simplest option - apple jam or jam. Try also mixing it with grated fresh apples. A good addition to jam can be dried fruits, previously washed with boiling water, dried and ground in a meat grinder.

Pies with apples in the oven are a fairly simple, but always popular dish.

Fruits for it can be used both fresh and in the form of dried fruits.

Useful tips

Apples go well with yeast, sour cream, and puff pastry. Any variety of these fruits is suitable for the filling. It is desirable that the fruits are ripe and moderately juicy. The main thing is that they should not be rotten.

A loose fruit with “cotton-like” pulp will fall into pieces during mixing and turn into puree.

Recommendations:

1. To prevent pies with juicy apples from leaking in the oven, it is recommended to cut the fruit into small cubes and place in a frying pan. Season with butter, sprinkle with starch and granulated sugar.
2. You can add ground cinnamon, crushed nuts, cookie crumbs, vanilla, and citrus zest to the apples.
3. Simmer the fruits for 4 minutes over low heat. After cooling, place the filling in a colander to drain excess liquid. Then you can stuff the pies.

It is important that the apple filling is cool, otherwise the pastry will turn to rubber.

Pies with juicy apples in the oven are a wonderful dessert for a homemade tea party. By choosing the recipe you like, you will enjoy a wonderful culinary masterpiece. Bon appetit!

The right filling for apple pies

Pies are not the simplest dish. Therefore, you need to take the preparation of the filling seriously, otherwise the dough will turn out soggy and the apples will be cloyingly sweet.

1. If you have sour apples, add more sugar, and vice versa.
2. To prevent the filling from darkening, sprinkle lemon juice on it, and the apple pieces will again acquire a presentable appearance.
3. To prevent the filling of the pies from being too liquid, simmer or fry the apple pieces in a frying pan - this will remove excess liquid from them.
