Lately, I receive quite a bit of emails from readers who are new to cooking in general. I’m really happy to hear that my recipes are easy enough for you guys to give it a try and that you are enjoying cooking Japanese food. Some asked me if I have very easy dessert recipes and this Easy Apple Pie recipe came to my mind.
Easy Apple Pie in 40 minutes!
Today’s recipe is too easy to be called a “recipe” but I remembered how happy I was when I learned how to make this very quick apple pie from a friend back in college. I cooked dinners back then, but I rarely baked, except for this apple pie. It was a perfect size dessert for me and my friends. Although this is not like a whole big pie from bakeries, the convenience, easiness, and quickness of the recipe totally wins! Not to mention how delicious it is! It’s such a rewarding dessert when the freshly baked apple pie comes out of the oven. And you spent only 40 minutes! I love this pie with vanilla ice cream to make your own Apple Pie à la Mode.
Keep Frozen Puff Pastry in the Freezer
I always have a box of puffed pastry in my freezer. When you go to your supermarket, find it in the freezer section. They come in a rectangular box with some puff pastry dessert pictures on it. Puff pastry is such a magical ingredient — as you pop into the oven, it bakes into a puffy, golden, perfect crust for fruit tarts, pies, pastries, etc. You can make so many foods with it! When you have an unexpected guest next time, you now know what you can make with these frozen sheets of puff pastry! Wish to learn more about Japanese cooking?
