Juicy Apple and Lemon Zest Pie

Ingredients

Sugar - 8.5 oz
Citrus Zest Mix - 0.1 oz
Vegetable Oil - 3 fl oz
Apple - 3 pieces
Baking Powder - 0.4 oz
Vanillin - 0.4 oz
Chicken Egg - 3 pieces
Wheat Flour - 10.6 oz
Mint - 0.2 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Beat 3 eggs with 240 g of sugar.

Step 2

Peel the apples, cut them into medium-sized pieces, place them in a saucepan, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Heat until caramelized. After they are ready, drain the liquid into a glass and let the apples cool.

Step 3

Add oil, lemon zest, and mint to the beaten eggs. Mix the baking powder and vanillin with the flour beforehand, and gradually incorporate it into the eggs.

Step 4

Fold the apples into the batter. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and pour the batter into it.

Step 5

Bake the pie at 356°F for 20–25 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the finished pie from the oven. Use a thin toothpick to make several holes in the pie, let it breathe for half a minute, and then slowly drizzle with the liquid left from the caramelized apples.

Step 7

If you are not serving it hot, after the caramel sets, you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar; in my case, it was cinnamon sugar — the perfect option.
