Sun recipe: Apple pie
Here’s a delicious apple pie recipe to make with your parabolic solar oven! This recipe was suggested by our Solar Sister Francine. Francine shares her tips and tricks for successful solar cooking.
Recipe suggested by : Francine – Solar oven: parabolic type, SunGlobe – Preparation time: 30 mn – Cooking time: 1 hour
Ingredients
- 1 round shortcrust or puff pastry
- 4 apples
Recipe preparation
- Roll out the pastry with the parchment paper in the 28cm-diameter tart tin.
- Garnish with apple slices. Cover with another pie tin of the same size or with a transparent lid.
- After 30 minutes of baking, turn the mould from 180° and put it back into the medium to high oven for a further 30 minutes.
Advice
- If you’re using a glass lid, it’s a good idea to place a light-colored cotton cloth halfway through to prevent the tart from darkening.
- I tried making an apple pie in a deep pan. The result needs to be improved.
- I added a few blackberries, but this wasn’t a good idea as the dark-colored fruit cooks much faster than the others, so there’s a risk of burning before the apples finish cooking. This experience helped me to improve subsequent cookings.
