Recipe for Individual Apple Pie
The Netherlands is a goldmine for delicious food and beautiful products. In Lekker Lokaal, Laura de Grave explains where to find the best products near you and how to cook delicious vegetarian dishes with them, such as this individual apple pie.
“Have you always wanted to have a whole apple pie all to yourself? Then make these individual apple pies! Simple, incredibly delicious, and they look beautiful because you arrange the apple on the pastry in a fan shape. You can optionally replace the apple with pear. In that case, leave out the cinnamon.”
How to make the individual apple pie
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Mix the flour, 30 g sugar, 1 egg, and 1⁄4 tsp salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and knead it into the flour mixture with cool hands until a cohesive dough forms. Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll them between your palms into balls.
- Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Press each dough ball out with your hands into a round piece of dough approximately Ø 10 cm in diameter. Place the pieces of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Mix the hazelnut flour with 40 g sugar and 1⁄2 egg in a bowl. Cut the apple, with its skin on (remove the core), into paper-thin slices. Mix the apple with the cinnamon and hazelnut oil in a bowl.
- Use a spoon to distribute the hazelnut-sugar mixture over the dough. Arrange the apple on top in a fan shape.
- Bake the individual apple pies in the center of the oven for approximately 25–30 min. until golden brown and cooked through.
Tip: You can buy ready-made hazelnut flour, but you can also make it yourself by finely grinding 40 g hazelnuts in a food processor for approximately 15–20 sec.
