Lattice-Structured Apple Bake: Grading Lattice Crust Apples on Pinterest
In the spirit of the autumn season, we present a delightful dessert recipe for "Lattice Crust Baked Apples," as featured on LifeisPoppin.com by Missi Perez. This recipe is perfect for those who enjoy the flavours of apple pie, but with a unique twist.
To begin, gather your ingredients: 8 Granny Smith apples (or substitutes such as Braeburn, Honeycrisp, or Gala), refrigerated pie crust, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of warm water, 3 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of water, store-bought caramel sauce, a sauté pan, and a melon baller.
First, peel, dice, and cook four apples to make the filling. In a bowl, combine the apple chunks with cornstarch and water, sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and cook over medium heat until softened. Simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside.
The remaining four apples will serve as containers for the filling. Remove their tops, and hollow out their centers using a melon baller.
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (approximately 390 degrees Fahrenheit). In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Brush the pie dough with the egg wash, and sprinkle the cinnamon-nutmeg sugar on top.
Hollowed apples are filled with the prepared filling and placed in a baking dish. The pie crust is cut into 1/4-inch strips for the lattice top, which is then placed on top of the stuffed apples.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. Once baked, allow the apples to cool slightly before drizzling caramel sauce on them (optional but highly recommended).
Enjoy this delectable dessert that brings the taste of apple pie into a new, creative form. Happy baking!
