New beginnings in life can be challenging, but always bring good things too. Best thing that happened to me in this new chapter of my life is that I got bonus: 3 beautiful step-daughters... So when my 2 sons and my 3 step-daughters visiting, it makes my dear B. and me very happy.
The other day, when we had a get-together, I made this pie... I loved the contrast between soft apple-rhubarb filling and crispy crumbly crust. Girls loved it too...One of the best I made so far!
Ingredients:
Crust-
250 g flour
125 g almonds, ground (I used walnuts)
125 g golden caster sugar
250 g butter, diced, chilled
Filling-
450 g apples, diced
300 g rhubarb, diced
80 g golden caster sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbs semolina
Topping-
1 tbs brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Method:
First make filling; Cook apples and rhubarb with sugar, until soft. Let it cool, then add semolina and cinnamon.
Prehet oven to 180*C; prepare a cake / pie tin.
Process all ingredients for the crust until crumbly. Spoon 2/3 of this into a cake tin; press with spoon making sure you make a 'wall' to hold the filling. Put filling onto it, then add the rest of crumble on top. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. bake for 45-50 minutes. Serve with double cream.
Hrskava Pita sa Rabarbarbarom i Jabukama
Novi pocetci u zivotu mogu biti izazivajuci, ali uvijek nose sa sobom i dobre stvari. Jedna od najboljih stvari koja se meni desila u mom novom poglavlju je ta da sam dobila 3 divne pastorke / pokcerke... Kada moja 2 sina i moje 3 nove kcerke dodju u posjetu, moj dragi B. i ja smo jako sretni.
Neki dan sam za njihovu posjetu pravila ovu divnu pitu. Dopao mi se kontrast u okusima - mekani filing i hrskava okolina. Svidjelo se i djevojkama...Jedna od najboljih hrskavih pita koje sam do sada pravila!
Potrebno:
Hrskava podloga-
250 gr brasna
125 gr badema, mljevenih (ja sam koristila orahe)
125 gr sitnog secera ('zlatnog' po mogucnosti)
250 gr maslaca, rezanog, rashladjenog
Fil-
450 gr jabuka, sjecene na kockice
300 gr rabarbare, sjeckane
80 gr 'zlatnog' secera
1/2 k cimeta
1 K griza / krupice
Posip-
1 K braon secera
1/2 k cimeta
Nacin:
Najprije napravite fil; stavite jabuke, rabarbaru i secer da se kuhaju dok ne omeksa. Ostavite prohladiti, pa umijesajte cimet i griz.
Ukljucite rernu na 180*C; pripremite obruc za kolac ili pitu.
Stavite sve sastojke za hrskavu podlogu u elektricnu sjeckalicu i ukljucite dok se ne pocnu stvarati mrvice. 2/3 od ove smjese utisnite u kalup, vodeci racuna da napravite 'zid' za fil. Ubacite fil, zatim pospite preostalim mrvicama po povrsini. Pomijesajte secer i cimet pa i ovime pospite odozgo.
Pecite oko 45-50 minuta. Sluzite sa 'duplim' slatkim vrhnjem.
