Ok ok , i had this crumble ready just for this pie in the freezer , and well while baking i took multi tasking a bit too far , and it remained sitting right there , so that for another pie ..
I have baked a pie from Nicks recipe , so this is officially my second pie, that one being an English pie with blackberries, mango and guava.
Whether u wanna slice it thru , or have it whole , love it u sure will....
The rich pie dough is one of the best dough's ever and since there is no sugar in the crust u can work beautifully around the fillings.
Plus sprinkling some home made Vanilla or cinnamon sugar before u pop these in the oven , atop the crust is always fun ....
Since i love hearts being there a plenty in my world , this was so expected of me , wasnt it ?
The filling is absolutely delicious , though i did cut down on the sugar and up the butter a bit.
The brown & vanilla sugar ,along with an extra vanilla bean , 2 types of cinnamon (pics below), and butter make it absolutely delicious.
Moving right back to this pie , an apple pie , i did try some stuff around the recipe , and though not perfectly pretty , it made me happy , deliciously happy.
