Apple Pie in 10 Minutes – My Family Keeps Asking for More

Ingredients:

Here’s everything you’ll need:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 120 g (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 120 ml (½ cup) milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 280 g (2 ¼ cups) all-purpose flour
  • Optional: cinnamon, vanilla extract, or lemon zest for extra flavor
  • PREPARATION:
    1. Preheat & Prep
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round or square baking dish with a little butter or line it with parchment paper.
    2. Prepare the Batter
    In a large mixing bowl:
    Beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes light and slightly frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
    Add the melted butter and milk, mixing until well combined.
    Stir in the baking powder and slowly incorporate the flour, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
    💡 Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon for a cozy flavor boost.
    3. Add the Apples
    Peel and slice the apples thinly. Gently fold the apple slices into the batter until well distributed.
    🍋 Tip: Toss apple slices with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a fresh zing.
    4. Bake the Pie
    Pour the apple mixture into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to even out the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
    5. Cool & Serve
    Let the pie cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or chilled with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
