The Result

Chocolate

or white?

What do you prefer? The filling in the white one was fresh and not from a packet so it takes more thumps up! ;)

Make a birthday cake. It is such a nice present and you'll make the birthday boy/girl happy. I'll never go back to buying birthday cakes.

The Best and Easiest Italian Apple Pie

Things you' ll need for it :

5 big red apples
400 gr brown sugar
300 gr unsalted butter
300 gr flour
1 big spoun of cinnamon
100 gr raisins



Step 1 , Making the dough : Mix the flour with the butter and add a pinch of cinnamon, till they become dough.

Step 2 : Cut the apples into big pieces and mix them with the sugar, the cinnamon and the raisins, squeezing with your hands so the apples will kind of melt and become juicier.




Step 3 : Place them in a baking pan (mine is glass) sqeezing them again to the bottom, so it won't leave any spaces between them. Put the dough on top of all the apples, to cover the whole pan.


Step 4 : Bake at 180 C for 1 hour.


You can enjoy it with vanilla ice cream or just some icing sugar on top. This is what it looks like if you remove a piece from the pan when it's hot....


...and this is how it looks if you remove it when it's cold. Of course this looks better, but I can never hold myself from digging in it when it is just coming out of the oven, really hot!
