In terms of taste, the outer crust of apple pie is crispy, and the inner filling is smooth and tender, with a rich texture. Tasting it carefully, you can feel the sweetness and sourness of apples, which makes people intoxicated. And apple pie is mainly made of apples, which are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, dietary fiber, and pectin. Eating it in moderation helps maintain good health.
Ingredients for Apple pie:
| Apple | 120g |
| Sugar | 30g |
| Glutinous rice flour | 50g |
| Breadcrumbs | 15g |
Steps:
1.First, we prepare some fresh apples. Wash the apples and use a knife to peel the skin off. Be careful when peeling the apple skin to avoid wasting the flesh or hurting yourself. Once the apple is peeled, you can start cutting it into pieces. Use a sharp knife to cut the apple into small pieces or fine particles. Doing this makes the apple easier to mix and cook, and it distributes more evenly in the food. Place the cut apple pieces in a basin for later use, so they are convenient for subsequent operations and adding other ingredients. Remember to be careful when using a knife during any cutting operation, ensuring the safety of your fingers and hands to avoid accidental injury.
2.In another basin, add proper amount of sugar and glutinous rice flour, and then pour in clean water. Add a small amount of clean water several times slowly, and stir the glutinous rice flour while pouring in clean water. With the addition of water, the glutinous rice flour will gradually become sticky and become dough like. The kneaded dough should not stick to your hands and have a smooth surface. Place the dough in a basin, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and set it aside. This will allow the dough to relax for later use.
3.Take a piece of dough and use the palm of your hand to gently press it into a pie-shaped disk. This process requires attention to the pressure, do not press too hard to avoid the dough rupturing or becoming uneven. The pressed pie-shaped dough should have a smooth surface and a moderate thickness. Gently pat the dough to make its surface more compact. To help the dough better adhere to the breadcrumbs, use a brush to dip into a little water and then evenly brush the water on the surface of the dough. This can increase the stickiness of the dough and facilitate subsequent operations. Then, you can sprinkle the breadcrumbs on a plate and evenly coat the wet dough with breadcrumbs, ensuring that the surface of the dough is completely covered. The breadcrumbs will make the apple pie more crispy.
4.Brush a little oil on the pan to ensure that the entire bottom is lubricated. This can prevent the apple pie from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Place the apple pie wrapped in breadcrumbs into the hot oil and turn down the heat to slow-cook. During the frying process, pay attention to controlling the heat. The temperature of the small fire is low enough to prevent the outer layer from changing color too quickly while the inside is still not fully cooked. At the same time, remember to turn over regularly. Depending on the specific situation, after about two to three minutes of frying, use a spatula to gently turn the apple pie over to fry the other side. This allows both sides to be evenly heated, achieving a golden crisp effect.
5.When the apple pie appears golden and tempting on both sides, it is ready to be fried! At this point, carefully place the fried apple pie in a plate. Arrange the apple pie neatly, and you will see their crispy, golden-brown crust, revealing a sweet and crisp fragrance. We can choose to directly taste the fried apple pie, or add some additional ingredients such as ice cream, cream, mint leaves, etc., to add more texture and flavor.
Tips:
1.To ensure the freshness of apples, we can choose apples with smooth surfaces, bright colors, firm fruit, and no damage or deformities. Avoid selecting apples that have been damaged or deformed, as these may affect the overall taste and quality of the pie.
2.When frying apple pie, the control of the heat is crucial. Too much heat will make the pie crust blackened, which not only affects its appearance, but also destroys its taste. Therefore, during the frying process, close attention should be paid to the heat and the temperature should be adjusted in a timely manner.
