INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 pound grass-fed or lean ground beef

Swedish Apple Pie – The easiest pie you’ll ever make!

by Rebecca July 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 1 hr | Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins | Servings: 8

This Swedish Apple Pie is the easiest pie you’ll ever make! It is made with a few simple ingredients that might already have on hand. A no-fuss pie recipe is excellent for beginner bakers and an easy dessert!

This Swedish Apple Pie guarantees the best easy dessert. It has never failed to impress everyone around the dinner table. A no-crust apple pie that you can easily and quickly make at any time. For best results, use varieties of apples that will keep their shape. I love Granny Smith or Braeburn, Honeycrisp, and Winesap apples are a great option if you want something slightly sweeter.

This pie never fails to amaze me as it turned out great always. The sweet, thick filling is surrounded by cinnamon-flavored baked apples over a flaky crust. If you want something extra, serve a slice with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Pie Filling:

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon sugar

5 Granny Smith apples or enough to fill a pie plate 2/3 full

Topping:

1 egg

1 c. flour

3/4 c butter, melted

1/8 teaspoon salt (pinch)

1 c. sugar

How to make Swedish Apple Pie

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 325 degrees F.

Step 2: After peeling and coring the apples, slice them into about 1/4-inch thickness. Fill the pie plate with 2/3 full apple slices and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon.

Step 3: Place the topping ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well until combined and spread this over the apples.

Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the pie crust is lightly browned.

Step 5: Remove from the oven when done and serve. Using foil, tent any leftovers and place them in the fridge.

Tips:

Make sure to slice the apples to about the same thickness. Keep the apple slices to around 1/4 to 1/2 thickness.

Let the melted butter, slightly cool before mixing with the egg so you do not end up with scrambled eggs.

Step 2: In a large Ziplock bag, place the chicken and pour it into the marinade. Keep in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours up to overnight.

Green Sauce:

Step 3: In a blender, place all the Green Sauce ingredients except for the olive oil. Process until smooth. Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while the motor is still running. In a bowl, transfer the mixture and place it in the fridge until ready to serve.

Grill chicken:

Step 4: Ready the grill. Preheat it to medium-high heat (about 350 degrees).

Step 5: Take the chicken out of the marinade, shaking any excess off. Lay the chicken on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes. Then, flip the chicken thighs using tongs and continue to cook for another 5 to 6 minutes. The chicken is done once its internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Note:

You can also roast the chicken in the oven. In a 13 x 9-inch roasting pan with 1 cup of water, place the chicken and roast in 500 degrees preheated oven for about 30 minutes, uncovered. Using foil, cover the pan and cook for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked and browned.

QUICHE LORRAINE RECIPE

by Rebecca July 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

This delicious Quiche Lorraine is classic French cuisine. This homemade version is an easy option and the closest to what France offers.

INGREDIENTS

1 c. 35% cream

1 c. whole milk

dash of grated nutmeg

1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped

6 rashers of bacon, sliced into ¼” pieces

4 extra-large eggs, room temperature

1 c. Gruyere cheese, cubed

¼ c. Parmesan cheese, grated

1 disc pie dough

pinch kosher salt

pinch of black pepper

HOW TO MAKE QUICHE LORRAINE

Step 1: Chill the prepared pie dough in the fridge overnight.

Step 2: Onto a floured surface, place the pie dough, and roll into a 12-inch round. Then, transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges of the pie dough. Using a fork, prick the entire pie dough and place it in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the oven. Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat it to 400 degrees F. Using foil, line a pie shell, tightly fitting it against the shell. Then, add pie weights (or around 2 cups of dry beans/rice). Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Uncover and remove the weights. Resume baking for another 10 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Adjust the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.

Step 4: To make the filling, beat the eggs, cream, milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.

Step 5: Cook the bacon in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat until almost crispy. To a paper-towel-lined plate, transfer the cooked bacon. Reserve 1 tbsp of bacon grease from the skillet and drain the rest. Adjust the heat to medium and place the skillet back on the stovetop. Then, add the onions and cook until softened and translucent.

Step 6: To assemble, evenly distribute the lightly chopped bacon along the bottom of the pie shell. Then, add the onion and Gruyere cheese. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan on top. Into the shell, gradually pour the egg mixture.

Step 7: Onto a baking sheet, place the pie plate. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted about 1-inch from the crust comes out clean. At this point, the quiche should be almost firm when jiggled.

Step 8: Take the quiche out of the oven when done and let it cool for about 45 minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve with some tossed or fresh fruit salad. Enjoy!
