Apple And Chocolate Pie Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY CHOCOLATE APPLE PIE CAKE

Steps:

• For the chocolate apple pie cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Use the butter to grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. Cut out a circle of parchment paper to fit the pan and place it on the bottom.
• In a large bowl, prepare the cake batter as instructed on the box. Pour 1 cup of the batter into the cake pan and spread it out. Add the apple pie on top of the cake batter, then pour the rest of the cake batter over the top and around the sides. Spread it to make sure there are no air pockets.
• Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center and around the edges comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, turn the cake out onto the rack, peel off the parchment paper and allow to cool completely.
• For the ganache: Pour the chocolate chips into a medium bowl. In a small pot on medium heat, add the heavy cream, rum and a pinch of salt and whisk until warm. Pour over the bowl of chips and allow to sit and soak in for 2 minutes. Whisk to melt the chocolate completely.
• Place the cake on a serving platter, pour the ganache in the center and spread gently outward over the edges. Sprinkle with the pecans and serve.

DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE, APPLE, WALNUTS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C (350º) (heat and timing are basing it on convection oven).
• Prick pie crust and par- bake for 5 minutes.
• Beat eggs well.
• Add sugar and beat again.
• Add milk, vanilla, chocolate and butter and mix well again.
• Pour apple, walnuts and finally the chocolate mix into pie crust.
• Bake at 180°C (350º) for 30-35 minutes or until pie begins to crack on top.

APPLE AND CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Peel, core and quarter apples. Slice very thinly.
• Place 1 layer of apple slices on the bottom crust. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons (or to taste) of sugar. Repeat twice.
• Spread chocolate pellets over top.
• With remaining apples, make 3 more apple/sugar layers.
• Top with 2nd crust and seal edges. Make an incision on the top.
• Bake in preheated oven at 450F for 15 minutes, or until golden.
• Lower heat to 350F and continue baking for another 25-30 minutes, or until apples are tender.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the caramel sauce and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400°. Press the bottom crust into a 9 inch pie pan and trim the excess with a sharp knife. Set in the fridge until the filling is ready.
• In a small bowl mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a medium bowl toss the sliced apples together with the spiced sugar mixture and the lemon juice. Pour into the chilled pie shell.
• Generously drizzle about half of the caramel sauce over the apples and then top with the lattice crust. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with course sugar.
• Place the pie on a baking sheet to prevent over spilling on the bottom of your oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is nice and golden brown.
• Allow to cool on a rack for 20-30 minutes before drizzling more caramel sauce over the top.

CHOCOLATE-DOSED APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Add above ingredients as listed in layers (except butter).
• Add top crust, make 3 slices in crust for steam...put butter pats in vents. Wet fingers with water & wash top of crust.
• Add aluminum sheet slices or crust protector for the edges. I use heavy (old fashioned) glass pie plate...the better to see what the crust is doing underneath.
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 10-15 min. or until the bottom of crust is browned & not mushy. Lower heat to 350 degrees and cook about 25-30 minutes longer to steam insides.
• I have used butterscotch chips the same way, just lighten the sugar and honey.
