Dutch apple pie
Dutch Apple Pie Recipe
Yield 1 pie
INGREDIENTS
For the pie
1 single pie crust
3 pounds (8 cups, about 6-8 whole) apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
half cup sugar
quarter cup flour
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 and half teaspoons cinnamon
1 fourth teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 8th teaspoon ground cloves
For the topping
3 fourths cup all-purpose flour
1 third cup pecan pieces, chopped
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 fourth teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
5 tablespoons butter, melted
Special equipment
9-inch pie plate
METHOD
Heat oven to 375°F. Roll out the crust On a surface sprinkled with flour, using a floured rolling pin, roll pastry dough into a circle 2 inches larger than a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the pastry over the rolling pin, lift it up and place it in the pie plate. Gently press the pastry into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Fold and crimp the pie dough around the rim of the pie plate. Transfer it to the refrigerator.
Make the topping In a small bowl, combine flour, pecans, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour melted butter over the bowl in a circular motion and toss with a fork.
Make the filling In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove and toss with your hands.
Assemble and bake the pie Retrieve the pie crust from the refrigerator. Pour the apples into the pie plate, arrange them a bit so they fit, then sprinkle the apples with the crumble topping. Place in oven to cook at 375°F for 55 min. If it looks like the edges of the pie are getting too browned, cover them with an aluminum foil strip.
Serve Let the pie cool on a cooling rack for about 30 minutes. Then slice and top with freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and caramel.

Cottage pie! Slimming world friendly!
This was how I made my slimming world friendly cottage pie yesterday! I thought I’d post the recipe for it. Just in case any of you want to have a go at making it!
Ingredients
450g floury potatoes, such as Desiree or King Edward, peeled and roughly chopped
450g swede, peeled and roughly chopped
1 egg, beaten
3-4 tbsp vegetable stock
Low-calorie cooking spray
1 large onion, finely chopped
500g lean beef mince (5% fat or less)
400g can chopped tomatoes
250g passata
4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp mustard powder
1 beef stock cube
3 carrots, peeled and cubed
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
200g green beans, trimmed
150g frozen peas
Method
1.Boil the potatoes and swede for 15 minutes, or until tender.
2.Drain, return to the pan and add half the egg. Mash, adding enough stock to give a soft consistency, then season lightly. Keep warm until needed.
3.Meanwhile, spray a medium non-stick pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a low heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
4.Add the beef mince and increase the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes, or until browned all over, stirring and breaking up any lumps.
5.Stir in the tomatoes, passata, Worcestershire sauce and mustard powder, then crumble in the stock cube. Add the carrots and herbs, season lightly and mix well. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6.Preheat your grill to medium. Transfer the mince mixture to a medium pie dish. Spoon the mash on top, roughen up with a fork and brush with the remaining egg. Grill for 5 minutes, or until golden.
7.Simmer the green beans and peas for 3-4 minutes, then drain. Divide the pie between 4 plates and serve with the bean
