Welcome to How To Cook That I'm Ann Reardon and last time we were in the
mini kitchen you challenged me to make mini donuts and this time I've had heaps
of requests for teeny-weeny apple pie. So to make that we're gonna need a mini
tin of pie, some cinnamon, one mini egg, butter, flour, baking powder and sugar. Add
the butter to the flour and then you want to cut that into the flour using a
knife to make the pieces of butter ... ahhh no!
Oh dear, that's bad I don't even have a broom
in my mini kitchen yet just wait and I will make a vacuum ... there we go vacuum it
up. It's not a great vacuum I can still see flour on the floor but never mind.
Fresh butter, more flour let's try that again ...
and as I was saying you need to cut the butter into the flour to make the pieces
of butter smaller, this is so much harder to do when it's on a mini scale. Then you
rub the butter into the flour using your thumb and your finger and keep doing
that until it looks like fine bread crumbs.
Add the baking powder and the sugar and stir those together.
Then you want to add in your egg and stir it and then knead it together so
that it comes together to form a dough. Clean some space on your counter and
spread out some plastic wrap and then we're going to roll the dough out on
that. Having the plastic wrap underneath just makes it easier to lift the pastry
up and put it into the pie dish without it tearing otherwise this would be
virtually impossible to do with the pastry being this thin. Remove the
plastic wrap and then using a sharp knife trim all the way around the edge
of your pie dish. Now you want to keep that extra pastry that we're cutting off
here and we'll use that to make the lid. Now add your tinned apple into the dish
I like to use the whole tin and pile it up so that the pie is really full and
this pie apple has no added sugar it's just Apple so if you like your pie a bit
sweeter then you can add some sugar in here. Sprinkle on some cinnamon and then
roll out the rest of the pastry and again use the plastic wrap so that you
can lift that up and place it over the top of the apple and then just push it
down gently around the sides and then peel off the plastic. Trim the excess off
and then use a fork to seal the lid on to the base so that you're just pushing
the pastry together from the lid to the one that we have on the base there so
that the apples don't overflow out of it this is a very full pie! Make a couple of
cuts in the top of the pie for steam to escape and then sprinkle the top with
some sugar. Light your oven and then add the pie
carefully in so that it can bake. While that's baking you can write in the
comment section for me what you'd like to see next for the next teeny-weeny
challenge 😁 Last time there were so many mini apple pie requests so that's why
I'm doing this one, so you get to choose what I baked in the mini kitchen. Once
that's smelling done you can pull it out of the oven and blow out the candles so
we don't burn down the mini kitchen. Cut yourself a slice of apple pie and then
put that on to your plate. Then just carefully add a dollop of cream ... I can't
really dollop cream when it was this mini it's not heavy enough to drop
off the spoon. This is so much easier to do in real size than it is in mini.
I wonder who I should invite over to eat this ... how about a couple of cute chicks?
Hello chickens there's a fresh apple pie on the table for you ... look up...
Do you think you can find the pie on the table? They're just wandering around pecking at
the floor, I guess that's what chicks usually do.
I think she spotted it! Oh, my goodness, she's on the chair ... how cute 💕
The bigger ones found it and it looks like he's gonna guts the lot 🇳🇿 and not share any with
the little one.
Okay chickens, just so you know, it is not polite to stand on the dinner table
when you're invited over to someone's house. I think we need some more polite
guests next time ... if you have any suggestions who I should invite to the
mini kitchen next time I bake put that in the comments below. Subscribe to How
