How to Bake Apple Pie

This apple pie is so easy to bake that even an unskillful housewife will handle it. Dough comes out very soft, flavored with apples, raisins and prune. And walnut and pine nuts add a bite to this pie. Pie with green apples is always good, with its well-balanced and sourish taste. Doctors and dieticians say we have to eat apples as often as possible. That’s because apples are the richest source of pectin that regulates sugar and cholesterol levels in blood.

• 2-3 green apples
• 3 eggs
• 50 g butter

Cooking Instructions

1. Beat eggs with a glass of sugar and pinch of salt.

4. Add flour and knead dough. Add finely chopped prune, walnut and raisins into it. Add baking soda mixed with vinegar and stir with a spoon well.
5. Coat a round baking sheet with oil and sprinkle with breadcrumbs heavily.
6. Pour the dough into the baking sheet and spread evenly with a spoon.
7. Now top the dough with apple slices and sprinkle with pine nuts.
