Apple crumble pie



One of my favourite TV chefs is Nigella. I like her 'normal', everyday recipes and the fact that she is willing to share with you her little domestic secrets. The way she speaks about certain food ('beautiful brown dust' - cocoa, 'little pale curls' - grated parmesan,...) shows off her poetic passion for food. What drives me crazy is constant zooming in on her face and hands and blurring out her figure...but, that might change soon, as she lost some weight recently.
Following recipe is adapted from Nigella's famous Apple Crumble...I just added a pie crust / shell.

Ingredients:
Crust-
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, cold pieces
1 tsp sugar
pinch of salt
1-2 tbs cold water
Apple filling-
3-4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
3 tbs sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Crumble-
90 g flour
3 tbs sugar
110 g butter, cold pieces

Method:
Mix dry ingredients and butter; rub them with your fingertips (or use processor) add water and knead slightly. Let it rest in the fridge (glad-wrapped).
Preheat oven to 180*C (fan-forced) or 190*C.
Take the dough out and roll into a circle that will cover your pie dish. Prick with fork.
Place apple pieces on bottom, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
Rub flour, sugar  and butter until large crumbles form. Cover your apple pieces and bake for 10 minutes; lower temperature to 170 (180)*C and bake for another 20 minutes. Serve warm or cold.



Pita sa Jabukama i Mrvicastom Koricom

Jedan od meni najdrazih TV kuhara je Nigella. Svidja mi se da pokazuje svakidasnje , normalne recepte i cinjenica da cesto dijeli svoje domace tajne. Nacin kako govori o hrani ('divna braon prasina' - kakao, ' mali blijedi uvojci' - rendani parmezan...) pokazuje njenu poeticnu zaljubljenost u hranu. Sta me dovodi do ludila je konstantno zumiranje njenog lica i ruku i zamagljivanje njene figure. ali i to bi se uskoro moglo promijeniti, obzirom da je dosta kilaze skinula u posljednje vrijeme. 
Sljedeci recept je adaptiran od njenod deserta 'Apple Crumble'; samo sam dodala 'dno' od prhkog tijesta.

Potrebno:
Podloga-
1 1/4 solje brasna
1/2 solje maslaca, hladni komadici
1 k secera
prstohvat soli
1-2 K hladne vode
Punjenje od Jabuka-
3-4 zelene jabuke, oguljene i isjecene
3 K secera
1 k cimeta
Mrvicasta povrsina-
90 gr brasna
3 K secera
110 gr maslaca, hladnog u komadicima
Nacin:
Umijesite tijesto, trljajuci sastojke zatim dodajte vodu; ovo mozete uciniti vrhovima prstiju ili uz pomoc sjeckalice. Zamotajte i ostavite u frizider.
Ukljucite rernu na 190*C; pripremite posudu za pite.
Razvaljajte tijesto u krug i postavite na posudu; izbockajte viljuskom.
Postavite komade jabuka preko, pospite secerom i cimetom.
Istrljajte brasno, secer i maslac dok nedobijete krupnije mrve. Postavite to preko jabuka i pecite 10 minuta. Smanjite temperaturu na 180 *C pa pecite jos 20-ak minuta. Servirajte toplo ili hladno.

  6. Dok moj suprug voli pitu od jabuka s mrežicom od tijesta, meni je draža ova crumble verzija. Baš me mami ova tvoja kriškica :D

  7. Tvoja pita od jabuka izgleda mamljivo. Nikad dosad nisam pripremala ovakvu "variaciju". :-))

  8. Nigela je ovde kao Marmite, il je volis il je ne podnosis. Zbog ekspresija i slikanja o kojima govoris je pre neku godinu dobila nadimak "queen of food porn"; al kad sve stavis na stranu ono sto ostaje, slazem se sa tobom su svakodnevni, cesto jednostavni a inventivni recepti. Sto se jabuka tice, kod nas bi ovako nesto moglo da bude na stolu svaki dan :)
