We love cooking together as a family and this easy apple pie recipe for kids (and mums, dads, grandparents too) is low in sugar and high in simplicity! And it costs less than $6 in ingredients!
Serves 6 using a 35mm pie tin
Ingredients
- 4 large Granny Smith Apples peeled and sliced thinly – $4
- 2 sheets of puff pastry – 90 cents
- 1/2 cup brown sugar divided into 2 x 1/4 cups – 20 cents
- Large squeeze of honey – 20 cents
- 1 pinch cinnamon – 5 cents
- 1 pinch of nutmeg – 5 cents
- 2 tablespoons of plain flour – 10 cents
- 50 grams of butter or margarine – 25 cents
- Squeeze of lemon juice – 10 cents
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- Line the pie tin with one sheet of puff pastry ensuring it comes up over the edges of the tin
- Peel and thinly slice the apples
- Place 1/2 of the apples in the tin
- Sprinkle the apple with 1/4 cup brown sugar, a large squeeze of honey, 1/2 pinch of cinnamon and 1/2 pinch of nutmeg
- Top the tin up with the rest of the apples and the rest of the sugar (1/4 cup), plain flour and the butter or margarine (divide this up into small pieces)
- Sprinkle the contents with lemon juice
- Cover the top with another sheet of puff pastry
- Use a form to crimp the edges around the tin
- Use a little more brown sugar to sprinkle on the top and cut steam vents in the pastry
- Pop into the oven on a piece of baking paper in case of overflow and bake for one hour on 180 degrees Celcius – check about half way through
Enjoy!
