Easy Apple Pie Recipe – Apple Pie with Pink Peppercorns

Easy Apple Pie Recipe with Pink Peppercorns and a little hint of cinnamon.

Easy apple pie recipe..love it…and by the way – if it doesn’t have pastry at the bottom, in my books that ain’t no pie!

Who doesn’t love a freshly baked apple pie?

An apple pie is quite a special thing, possibly one of the very few ‘true’ comfort foods. I don’t want a reconstructed apple pie, I don’t want an apple pie perfectly neat. I want it gnarly, I want too much pastry, I want it home cooked, I want it how I remember having it as a kid.

I’m a big fan of ‘pies’ but don’t tend to make them (I mean I can’t keep this figure eating pastry all day!). But I do love a humble pie, especially dessert pies (my other favourite is pumpkin pie).

This easy apple pie recipe is super simple (I don’t peel the apples and I use store bought pastry). Just assemble the whole thing, whack it in the oven and voila! You have the humble apple pie ready to devour.

The one thing I have done is added a few pink peppercorns, I’m not sure why but at the time of making this recipe I had an urge for a little spice and it worked really well.

Anyway, make it, serve it with lashings of double cream or ice cream and just enjoy.

Nothing quite like a homemade apple pie to soothe the soul on a rainy day…
