Pink Lady Apple Pie with Cinnamon Crust

Unbelievably, the first time I tried making an apple pie, it was a disaster. The crust was too thick, the apples weren’t sweet enough, and let’s not even talk about the presentation. But after years of tweaking and testing, I’ve finally perfected my Pink Lady Apple Pie with Cinnamon Crust, and it’s become a family favorite.

Ingredients

• Butter – 1/2 cup, cold and cubed
• Cinnamon – 2 tsp
• Salt – 1/2 tsp
• Ice water – 6 tbsp

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfectly golden crust.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Tip: Using cold butter helps create a flaky crust.
3. Add cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to press the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Tip: Overworking the dough makes it tough.
5. Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
6. Roll out one dough disk on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place it in the dish.
7. Toss sliced apples with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and spread over the crust.
8. Roll out the second dough disk and place over the apples. Seal and crimp the edges. Tip: Brushing the top with milk gives it a beautiful shine.
9. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Bake for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

You’ll love the contrast between the sweet, tender apples and the spicy, crisp cinnamon crust. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Caramelized Pink Lady Apple Tart

Nothing beats the comforting aroma of caramelized apples wafting through the kitchen, especially when it’s a Pink Lady Apple Tart baking to perfection. I remember the first time I tried this recipe; it was a chilly autumn evening, and the tart turned out to be the perfect blend of sweet and tart, with a buttery crust that melted in the mouth. Since then, it’s become my go-to dessert for impressing guests or treating myself on a lazy Sunday.

Ingredients

• Pink Lady apples – 4
• Sugar – ½ cup

• Salt – ½ tsp

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.

3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sugar, stirring until the mixture turns a light golden color, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the apple slices to the skillet, cooking them until they’re soft and caramelized, approximately 10 minutes. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet to allow each slice to caramelize properly.
5. While the apples are cooking, mix the flour and salt in a bowl, then press the mixture into a tart pan to form the crust. Tip: Use the back of a spoon to evenly press the crust into the pan.
6. Arrange the caramelized apples over the crust in a circular pattern, then bake for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Tip: Let the tart cool for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure clean cuts.

The tart emerges from the oven with a golden, flaky crust and a layer of tender, caramelized apples that strike the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible contrast of temperatures and textures, or enjoy it as is for a simple yet elegant dessert.

It’s a dish that’s as simple to make as it is delightful to eat, perfect for those days when you want something healthy without the hassle.

Ingredients

• Pink Lady apples – 2, thinly sliced
• Walnuts – ½ cup, chopped
• Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
• Honey – 2 tbsp
• Olive oil – 1 tbsp
• Salt – ¼ tsp

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced Pink Lady apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfectly roasted apple with a tender inside and slightly crispy edges.

6. Let the apples rest for 5 minutes before serving. They’ll be piping hot, and this rest allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Finally, these roasted apples emerge with a silky texture, the honey and thyme creating a symphony of sweet and savory. Serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a contrast in temperatures, or enjoy them as is—their simplicity is their strength.

It’s a recipe that reminds me of autumn afternoons spent in the kitchen, experimenting with spices and fruits, and it’s surprisingly versatile.

4. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press down gently with a spatula to help the sandwich hold together.
5. Tip: If your cheese isn’t melting as fast as you’d like, cover the skillet with a lid for a minute to trap the heat.
6. Tip: For an extra flavor boost, add a drizzle of honey before serving.
7. Tip: Let the sandwich sit for a minute before cutting to allow the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to handle.

The contrast between the crisp apple and the gooey Brie is nothing short of magical. Serve it with a side of mixed greens for a light lunch, or enjoy it as is for the ultimate indulgence.

4. Stuff each pork chop with the apple and cranberry mixture, packing it in tightly to prevent it from falling out during cooking.

Ingredients

• Pink Lady apples – 4 cups, peeled and diced
• Water – 1 cup
• Sugar – ¾ cup

5. Pour the puree into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes. Tip: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the puree into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm, about 4 hours.
6. Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

Here’s the scoop: this sorbet is incredibly smooth with a vibrant apple flavor that’s both sweet and slightly tart. Serve it in hollowed-out apple halves for a fun, edible bowl that’ll impress your guests.

Pink Lady Apple Pancakes with Maple Syrup

After a weekend visit to the local farmers’ market, I found myself with a bounty of Pink Lady apples and knew exactly what to do—transform them into the fluffiest pancakes imaginable. There’s something about the crisp sweetness of these apples that makes mornings feel a little brighter, especially when paired with the rich depth of maple syrup.

Ingredients

• Flour – 1 cup
• Baking powder – 2 tsp
• Salt – ½ tsp

4. Stir in the diced Pink Lady apple, distributing the pieces evenly throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 350°F) and lightly grease it. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip. Tip: The second side cooks faster, usually about 1-2 minutes, so keep an eye on it.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if necessary.

These pancakes come out wonderfully fluffy with little bursts of apple in every bite. The Pink Lady apples retain a slight crunch, offering a delightful contrast to the soft texture of the pancakes.
