Classic Apple Pie - Childhood Memories #1


This is the pie that immediately has the taste of my childhood, of when I returned home after classes in elementary school, of Fall's Saturday afternoons when my sister lovingly used to bake them for me while I devoured them  laid down on my bedroom´s floor in front of the television while watching  still in black and white cartoons of Postman Paul - so sweet, so beautiful, so pure, then. It deliciously has the taste of apple with cinnamon but mostly it has the distant aftertaste of a tender time when I was truly and genuinely happy, and did not even realize it!

Ingredients:
  • 1 kg Royal Gala apples
  • cinammon sticks and powder
  • 1 lemon
  • sugar
  • 1 package of puff pastry
Peel the apples, chop them into pieces and boil them with cinnamon sticks and sugar to taste. Mash them with a fork, sprinkle again with a little powdered sugar if you want it to be sweeter and set aside. Line a pie with the dough. Meanwhile, slice the rest of the apples  ​​thinly, drizzle with lemon juice over the apple cream . Bake at 180 º C until golden brown.



Esta é a tarte que sabe imediatamente à minha infância, ao  regresso a casa depois das aulas na escola primária, às tardes de outono de sábado quando a minha irmã carinhosamente mas cozinhava e eu as devorava, pespegada no chão do meu quarto, em frente à televisão, enquanto via os desenhos animados, ainda a preto e branco, do Carteiro Paulo - tão doces, tão lindos, tão puros, então. Sabe deliciosamente a maçã com canela mas, sobretudo, tem um travo a um tempo muito terno em que eu era verdadeira e genuinamente feliz, e nem sabia!


Ingredientes:
  • 1 kg de maçãs Royal Gala
  • paus de canela e em pó
  • 1 limão
  • açúcar
  • 1 embalagem de massa folhada
Descasque as maçãs, parta-as aos bocados e coza-a com os paus de canela e açúcar qb. Esmague-as com um garfo, volte a polvilhar com um pouco de açúcar em pó se estiverem pouco doces e reserve. Forre uma forma de tarte com a massa e coloque o recheio por cima.
Enquanto isso, corte-as corte o resto das maçãs às fatias fininhas, regue com sumo de limão disponha por cima do creme. Leve ao forno a 180ºC até ficar douradinha.
