Super Creamy Apple Pie with Extra Apples: Ready in Just 15 Minutes!

Table of Contents

1 kilogram of apples (about 2.2 pounds), preferably a mix of sweet and tart varieties
90 grams of sugar (approximately 7 tablespoons)
Juice of 1 lemon
10 grams of corn starch (about 1 tablespoon)

Wash and Prepare Apples: Start by washing the apples thoroughly. Peel if desired, then cut into quarters and remove the core and stems. Dice the apples into small cubes.
Cook the Apples: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced apples with the sugar. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the mixture and add the cornstarch. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Simmer: Place the saucepan on medium heat and cook the apples, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until the apples soften, and the liquid reduces and thickens slightly due to the cornstarch. This should take about 10 minutes. Remove from heat once done.

Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the cooked apple mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Set aside while you prepare the dough.

Beat the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer. Continue beating until the eggs are frothy and have increased in volume.
Incorporate Sugar: Gradually add the sugar in small portions, continuing to beat until the mixture turns light and fluffy. This process helps to incorporate air, making the dough light.
Add Flour: Sift the flour to remove any lumps and gently fold it into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix as this could deflate the eggs.
Add Milk: Pour in the fresh milk and gently mix until all ingredients are well combined and the dough is smooth.

Pour and Level: Pour the prepared dough over the apple mixture in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring the apples are fully covered.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the pie for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden and set. A toothpick inserted into the dough should come out clean.
Cool: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly. Carefully remove the pie from the dish using the parchment paper or by running a knife along the edges. Place it on a cooling rack covered with a clean towel or a new piece of parchment paper.

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pastry cream, cream cheese, and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Separate for Decoration: Set aside a small portion of the cream in a separate bowl. This will be used for decorating the pie later.

Spread the Cream: Once the baked apple and dough base has cooled slightly, spread most of the cream mixture evenly over the top.
Roll the Pie: Carefully roll up the pie, starting from one end and using the parchment paper or towel to guide you. This step should be done gently to avoid breaking the dough layer.
Final Cream Layer: Spread the remaining cream on the outside of the rolled pie, smoothing it with a spatula.
Add Almonds: Sprinkle the roasted almond flakes over the cream, pressing gently so they stick.

Slice and Enjoy: Cut the pie into slices and serve. This pie is delicious on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
