My Homemade Apple Pie

When it comes to cooking, honestly if you give me a number from 1-10 I'd give my self only 1 or 2... LOL! the only thing I can cook properly are pancakes that I learned about 10 years ago! No cutting, no bubbly oil hahaha. Easy-Deazy. But now I know as I'm getting older I HAVE to really start learn cooking. So two days ago I decided to try to bake a pie. An apple pie :) I have had it in mind for some time actually but unfortunately I just hadn't got around to it. Now that I have this 2 FREE months, well it's definitely time isn't it? ;)


I've been wanting to make a pie and even more ever since watched this movie above. Inspired! The Waitress. This is a romantic comedy, it's about bitter-sweet love and pie making, just deligtful! :) Trailer here for you curious noses! :p

 

So, you can make any pie, depending on the filling that you use, it doesn't always have to be fruits, you can put in chocolate, meat or even marshmallows, so get creative and create your own Pie. As for me, I wanted to make the famous old fashioned apple pie :)


 The Ingredients are very simple really :) I just took a random recipe from the internet. The amount of ingredient depends on the size of your pie. So you'll be making two things, the dough and the filling.

For the dough: Flour                                                            
                         Egg Yolk                                                                               
                         Cold Milk                                                                             
                         Butter                                                                                    
                         Salt                                                                                      
                         Sugar
                                                                                   
For the filling: Peeled apples
                        Cinnamon powder
                        Sugar
                        Salt
                        Lemon juice
                        Flour

HOW TO MAKE A HOMEMADE APPLE PIE

Step 1: Making the dough
Mix all the ingredients together to make a dough, once it's nicely mixed divide them in two    and put them in the fridge for more then 1 hour.

Step 2: Making the filling
Mix the filling cinnamon powder, salt, sugar, lemon juice and flour. Then, mix the mixture with the cut and peeled apples.

Step 3: Making the pie!
Get the dough out of the fridge. Take one dough for the bottom layer, flatten in by using a roller, put it in the baking pan. Next, put the filling on the dough, throughly. Then, take the other dough for the top layer, flattenn it with a roller too. Put the second dough on to the filling. Make sure that the bottom layer and the top layer can be attached to one other. Put some egg yolk on the top layer with a  brush or you can just use your hands :). Now you're almost done! Put it in the oven for about 45 minutes or more depending on your pie. Once it's done it's going to turn a little bit brown-ish and you can check the filling by sticking a fork in then pie. The filling should be tender.

Step 4: ENJOY! :D
Voila! It's done! Get it out of the oven, leave it an hour to cool and it's ready to be served. Yum!

 This is my pie how it looked before being put in the oven.

 And this is how it looked after I get it out of the oven (the pie was still cooling)


                                                                                    Thanks for passing by!

Skin journey: How I cured my skin. I went French!

Dear readers, Ever since I moved to the UK I realize that my makeup consumption has increased quite drastically. Trust me I did wear makeup, but just as simple as setting powder and some BB cream if I am in the mood. Heavy make-up special occasions only. But this past year I have been using makeup pretty much everyday. BB cream, sometimes foundation, concealer, not to forget I also use a primer underneath, you name it. My skin type is basically sensitive and acne-prone. So if any product does not work on my skin, just wait a few days and zits will start to come. I knew that. I was just stubborn. You see like many of you, I see makeup as fun. Who doesn't like looking 'better' right? But from the accumulation of makeup I have worn over the past few months, I have successfully grown and harvested myself an amount of zits and oh the bonus, acne scars! It sounds disgusting, I know. Apologies. For all of you having had acne, yes, yes. It is frustrating! It is painful and c

Living with Braces and Retainers (Wire/Hawley vs Clear/Essix)

How much of you has gotten braces and retainers? Yep some of us have been through it all. May it be for health reasons or for the sake to get that perfect smile. Whether you're still wearing it, going through the retainer phase, let's agree that those years are just about discipline! The discipline of actually cleaning your teeth in a way you kind of never did before (not saying that you never clean your teeth before, omg that would just sound bad, why am I even writing this? lol never mind, ignore the voice in my head babbling. So, I meant cleaning in a good way, seriously!), you get used of more that just one tool to clean your teeth, that mental preparation of facing the facts that some of your teeth must be taken out, monthly visits to the dentist (my dentist is a living witness of me growing up), wearing retainers everyday, cleaning them, put it in the case and try not to lose it honestly. So well, I am going to share you bits of my story. I had had braces for 6 years
