Tips and tricks on the apple pie with the thermomix

13 tips and tricks about the thermomix recipe

• Choose firm and slightly acidic apples, such as Granny Smith apples, for a more flavorful apple pie.
  
• Use a mandoline to slice the apples into thin and uniform slices. This will allow for even cooking and a more aesthetic presentation.
  
• To prevent the apples from browning, drizzle them with lemon juice after slicing. This will preserve their natural color.
  
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to the apple filling to enhance the flavors and give a warm note to the pie.
  
• Prepare a light shortcrust pastry by using wholemeal flour or replacing some of the flour with almond flour. This will add an interesting texture to the pie.
  
• For a crispier shortcrust pastry, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will allow the butter to slightly harden and ensure a better texture.
  
• Before arranging the apple slices on the pastry, sprinkle a thin layer of cookie crumbs or almond powder on the bottom of the pie. This will absorb excess juice from the apples and prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
  
• For a more indulgent apple pie, add raisins or chocolate chips between the layers of apples. This will bring a touch of surprise and texture.
  
• Lightly brush the apples with a sugar syrup or jam after arranging them on the pastry. This will give them a beautiful shiny appearance once baked.
  
• Serve the apple pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This will add a touch of sweetness and freshness to the tasting.
  
• You can top it with almonds, crumble, powdered speculoos, pecans, pink pralines,...
  
• Add a little brown sugar to make it even more indulgent.
  
• With apples, you can also make Thermomix recipes such as crumbles, apple cake, and apple galette des rois. Also, check out our basic Thermomix recipes for puff pastry and shortcrust pastry, which can serve as a base for this apple pie recipe.
