Homemade Apple Pie Crusty and Flaky (Scroll below for all measurement links)
A classic style apple pie that's hard to beat made with a buttery crusty flaky crust. This recipe uses two types of apples, the green granny smith apples for their tartness and softness plus the yellow jonathans which are sweeter and juicier. A few subtle spices are used including star anise, clove and cinnamon. I find that too many recipes are overpowered with spice. This is a perfect balance to enhance the apple flavour and not over power it. By creating the lattice work, the steam evaporates giving you a firmer filling and crustier crust that's not soggy. Great for thanksgiving, Christmas or simply anytime!
Easy Apple Strudel
A simple Apple Strudel recipe. Apple strudel is a German and Austrian style dish that’s been well adopted by the Italians and many other countries. The classic strudel is made with apples but of course you can also use other fruits. Make sure you buy a good quality cooking apple so they don’t fall apart during the cooking process. This version is made using sheets of filo pastry, it’s not authentic I know, but it’s quicker and much easier than making it from scratch. I also like to toast the breadcrumbs so they resemble more of a biscuit base, this adds another level of flavour and also absorbs any moisture from the apples, resulting in a very crispy outside. I like mine packed with apples, but that’s a personal choice, you may like to roll them a little thinner. Either way, enjoy my Simple Apple Strudel with a side of vanilla bean ice cream or freshly whipped double cream.
Layered Apple Cake
This is another one of those simple recipes with impressive results. Layered apple cake is a French recipe also known as invisible cake. It’s called invisible as the apples disappear once the cake is cooked, I think it’s a silly name as the apples are quite visible and that’s part of the beauty. Eighty percent of this cake is fruit, so it is a healthier cake. It also doesn’t have too much sugar. All these thinly cut apple slices smothered in a custard like batter, look very impressive once the cake is cut. And of course it tastes delicious as most apple desserts do. You can layer the apples one by one to make perfect layers, but who’s got time for that unless it’s for a dinner party. I just throw the lot in the cake pan, flatten it and the result is still amazing. It takes no time at all to make. Enjoy my layered apple cake.
French Apple Cake
This French apple cake is a quick and simple recipe that yields amazing results. It's slightly buttery with a beautiful crumbly texture outside and a moist crumb inside. The key is using high-quality ingredients like Granny Smith apples and good butter. Make sure to avoid low-fat milk and use organic lemon zest for the best flavour. The unique twist is the layer of frosting that's poured on top and baked to perfection. This cake can be frozen and enjoyed warm with ice cream. It's like a piece of Paris on your plate, and it's your secret recipe for success! Enjoy!
French Apple Crepes, a thin apple pancake
A crepe is basically a type of thin pancake made from wheat flour. Crepes originated in Brittany, the Northwest of France and quickly became very popular worldwide. They can be used for both sweet or savoury meals, and can be topped or filled. It’s ideal to purchase and keep a non stick crepe pan, purely for crepe making as they are prone to sticking when cooking. This French apple crepe or thin pancake recipe is similar to crepes Normandes. Apples are cooked in a butter caramel sauce, with raisins and cinnamon and filled inside a rolled thin crepe. Enjoy this recipe of thin pancakes (crepes) and see the streets of Paris.

I used an apple compote to enrich the taste but even that step is optional if you’re short on time. Give this recipe a go you won’t regret it, just try not to eat the all at once as I did!
