APPLE AND WINE PIE

Use a 24 cm. x 32 cm. pan.

Ingredients

Filling:
6 granny smith apples, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup maple syrup
50 g. raisins
2 tsp. cinnamon, ground
2 Tbsp. candied pecans
2 cups sweet red wine

Dough:
1 ½ cups semolina
1 cup flour, sifted
1 cup sugar
150 g. cold butter or margarine, cut into thin slices

Directions

Place the apple slices in a large bowl. Add the sugar, maple syrup, raisins, cinnamon, nuts and wine. Mix well and let the mixture sit for 15 min. to soak up all the flavors. Mix every so often.

In a separate bowl, mix all the dough ingredients together, except for the butter. Spread one-third of the dough mixture on the bottom of the pan and flatten.

Add the apple mixture, including the liquid, to the pan and flatten. Add the rest of the dough mixture and flatten gently. Place the butter pieces on top.

Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 150°C for 1 hour or until the pie browns.

Please note that even if the pie seems like it’s not finished baking, do not bake more than 1 hour. Remove the pie from the oven and place on a counter to cool down. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Level of difficulty: Easy-medium.
