Apple pie

Large and melting pieces of apples and a vanilla flan: this is the gourmet duo of a delicious Alsatian-style apple pie.

Ingredients for 4 persons

• 1 home-made Shortcrust Pastry (link to my recipes: “classic” shortcrust pastry OR a lighter version “Yoghurt Shortcrust Pastry”) or 1 ready-to-use dough
• 4 to 6 apples

For the flan:

• 2 eggs
• 200 ml of semi-skimmed milk (low-fat)
• 50 g of fine sugar
• A few drops of vanilla extract

Spread the shortcrust pastry into an about 25 cm diameter pie mould. Poke the dough with a fork.
