Now, I love apple pie. I think adore would be a better word, actually. It's potentially my favourite dessert of all time.
Anyway, I never managed to taste my nan's pie, so I was quite adamant that my mum made one for me following the same recipe.
As soon as we had grown some apples in the back garden, she set to work and promised me an apple pie tonight.
This was the finished product.
It was delicious. Potentially could have done with a bit more sugar in the apple filling, but otherwise yum!!
I also made some vanilla ice cream to go with it, adapted from a recipe I found on chocolatecoveredkatie.com. Unfortunately, I did not have the resources to make the recipe as healthy as I would have liked, but it turned out quite well regardless.
Ice Cream Recipe
90g cashews soaked in water for 6 hours
120g semi-skimmed milk
120g full-fat milk
1-2tsp vanilla extract
3-4tbsp caster sugar
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, then freeze.
An hour of freezing will give you soft-serve consistency and it's actually quite tasty. I'm looking forward to experimenting with flavours and healthier options in the future now I have the base recipe. I think I'll try different nuts as well, as I'm not a big fan of cashews.
Anyway, let me know if you try anything particularly good ;)
