As promised in my post How to create a Rosemary Christmas Tree I have some more recipes to share with you using the herb Rosemary. I shall post several posts throughout the day today including a couple sent from our Subsribers so I've called it Scrumptious Saturday!
This Apple Pie with Rosemary dish was a favorite with my friends in the Netherlands. You can also check out our other recipes at Gardeners Reach with this link.
This is a traditional apple pie recipe with a twist, the twist is the inclusion of the herb rosemary. Rosemary gives the kitchen the aroma of pine whilst cooking, but has a taste that is reminiscent of a sweet light mint. Try this recipe this year instead of your traditional one, you won't regret it!
Apple Pie with Rosemary
Serves 1
Ingredients
For the apple filling:-
30g butter
1 baking apple, peeled, chopped
1 orange (squeezed juice only)
1 fresh sprig fresh rosemary
1 tbsp sugar
For the crumble topping:-
85g plain flour
50g butter
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cold water
To Serve
Cream of your choice.
Method
Preheat the oven to 400F.
1. For the apple filling, melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the apple pieces and cook gently for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the orange juice, rosemary sprig and sugar and cook for a further 5-6 minutes, covered. Remove the rosemary sprig and pour the mixture into a small ovenproof dish.
3. For the topping, place the flour and butter into a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4. Add the egg and sugar to the mixture, and then gradually add enough water to create a lumpy texture, taking care not to make it too sticky (you may not need all of the water).
5. Place the crumble topping mixture on top of the apples in the dish. Place on a baking sheet, transfer to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until bubbling and golden-brown.
6. To serve, allow the crumble to cool slightly, and then pour over the cream.
Enjoy!
