Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Combine sliced apples, lemon juice, vanilla, chopped nuts, and eggs, then add to the dry mixture.
- Mix well until combined.
- Pour the batter into a well-greased 10-inch pie plate.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients. If you want to reduce sugar, you can substitute half of the sugar with unsweetened applesauce. Ensure the apples are firm to prevent a soggy pie. You can also use a mix of apples for a more complex taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. This apple pie pairs beautifully with Kaffeebrotchen for a cozy dessert experience. For a more festive touch, drizzle caramel sauce on top or sprinkle with chopped nuts before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover apple pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, use a microwave for quick reheating but be aware that crust may lose its crispness.
