Craving a McDonalds Apple Pie? I can help!

Baked Apple Pie

If you have never eaten a McDonalds Apple Pie before then you have legitimately missed out on one of the BEST fried foods ever. It is sweet, crispy perfection and once you have one, the standard will be set for apple pies for the rest of your life. That flaky pastry and tender but still slightly firm apple filling…pure (unhealthy) indulgence. So of course I had to try and make my own version! Spoiler Alert: it’s amazing!

Nadia’s Apple Pie Recipe
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup of sugar (use as much or as little as you like)
  • a sprinkle of cinnamon
  • a roll of puff pastry
  • 4-5 grannysmith apples
  • oil for frying
Ingredients for Apple Pie
The ingredients for edible happiness
Method
  • First things first, peel, core and slice your apples. You could also cube them, its really whatever you prefer.
  • Add the apples to a casserole dish and cover with water. Cling wrap the dish and microwave for 10-15 minutes. The apples need to be cooked but still a bit firm.
  • While the apples are in the microwave, lightly dust your workspace with some flour then unroll the puff pastry
  • Here’s a key point: use a rolling pin to roll the pastry to 1.5x the original size. It needs to be as thin as possible without tearing.
  • Trim the edges(keep them aside, I’ll tell you why at the end) so that you’re left with a neat rectangle then section off into 10-18 pieces (depending on the size of pie you want to make.)
  • Add your oil to a pot and heat it up so that its ready for frying.
  • When the apples are done, drain all the water then add half the sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Taste the apples and add more sugar if you want it sweeter.
  • Fill the centre of half the pastry slices with the apple mix (stay away from the edges) and then cover the apples with another slice of pastry.
  • Press down the edges of the pastry using a fork to seal in the filling.
How to fill the pies
  • Lastly, fry the apple pies until golden brown. It takes a minute or two. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle a liberal amount of brown sugar on it immediately for that crunchy exterior.
  • Eat as soon as it is done because once the pastry loses it’s crispiness the magic is lost.
  • Remember those trimmed edges from earlier? Fry for a few seconds then remove and dust with cinnamon and brown sugar. So, so good!

Now if the thought of deep frying makes your arteries cringe then you could also pop the pies in the oven and bake them. 190 degrees for about 15 minutes should do the trick. Keep an eye on them and remove when the pies are a nice golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar as soon as its out and eat hot.

I am a mum to two amazing little girls and wife to the most patient man who indulges my obsession with anything marked 'Limited Edition'. When I'm not busy on the school run or tapping away at my laptop, I'm in the kitchen cooking up a storm. My love of fresh produce and healthy, home cooked meals stems from my childhood. I want to inspire other parents to try new products and flavours while also getting the kids involved in the process.

  17. Scrap Copper recovery Copper metal is widely used as a conductor of electricity due to its excellent electrical conductivity and other beneficial properties that make it an ideal material for electrical wiring. There are several reasons why copper is chosen over other metals for electrical wiring: 1. Excellent electrical conductivity: Copper has a very high electrical conductivity, which means that it can easily transfer electrical energy from one place to another. This allows for efficient transmission of electrical power over long distances, with minimum loss of energy due to resistance. 2. Low resistance: Copper has low electrical resistance, which means that it does not hinder the flow of electricity, and electrical energy can pass through it with ease. This low resistance ensures that a high percentage of the electrical energy is transmitted without being lost as heat. 3. Ductility and flexibility: Copper is a malleable and ductile metal, which means that it can easily be bent and shaped without breaking. This makes it perfect for use in tight spaces and situations where wires need to be routed in complex patterns. 4. Corrosion resistance: Copper is highly resistant to corrosion, which means that it can resist environmental factors such as humidity, water, and temperature variation for a long time without losing its conductivity. 5. Availability and Cost-effectiveness: Copper is widely available, and its cost is relatively cheap as compared to other metals of similar quality. This ensures that it is not only the best material for electrical wiring but also the most cost-effective solution. In conclusion, copper is an excellent choice for electrical wiring because of its excellent electrical conductivity, low resistance, ductility, corrosion resistance, availability, and cost-effectiveness. These properties make it the preferred material for electrical wiring in almost all applications, ranging from residential wiring to heavy-duty industrial applications Eco-conscious metal recycling Copper anode recycling Scrap Copper recycling rates Industrial copper recycling capabilities Copper coil recycling Metal scraps

  18. Copper scrap yards Copper has played a significant role in the history and development of the United States. From revolution to innovation, copper has been used in countless ways throughout the country’s history. The USA has been one of the top producers of copper in the world, with copper mining and production contributing significantly to the national economy. The use of copper can be traced back to pre-Columbian times when Native Americans used copper for tools, jewelry, and other decorative objects. During the 17th and 18th centuries, copper mining became an important industry in the American colonies, with the first copper mines operating in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Copper played a critical role in the American Revolution, with the country’s copper mines providing much-needed ammunition and other materials. The USA’s use of copper continued to grow throughout the 19th century with the advent of the Industrial Revolution. Copper was used in telegraph cables, electrical wiring, and a host of other applications. Today, copper is used in an array of products, from buildings and bridges to electronics and renewable energy technology. The United States is still one of the top producers of copper globally, with copper mining and production contributing significantly to the country’s economy. There are also exciting opportunities on the horizon for the US copper industry. Demand for copper is expected to grow as the country invests in renewable energy technology, electric cars, and other green initiatives. Copper’s excellent conductivity and durability make it an ideal material for use in solar panels and wind turbines, helping to drive the growth of the renewable energy sector. In conclusion, copper has played and will continue to play a significant role in the history and future of the United States. The country’s copper industry is poised to contribute greatly to the growth of the economy, while copper’s durability and conductivity make it an excellent material for use in a wide range of applications, especially in the growing renewable energy sector Metal repurposing center Copper heat exchanger recycling Recycling equipment for Copper scrap Copper scrap inventory forecasting Copper scrap fabrication Metal scrap disposal
