Quick and Easy Dessert Recipe
I believe that this recipe was given to my mother by one of my aunts, who actually is Swedish, so it may really be ethnic. If anyone out there is also Swedish and can confirm or deny the authenticity of the "Swedish" label, I’d like to satisfy my curiosity! At any rate, I can tell you that this is a time-saving, but still delicious, substitute for classic apple pie. It might come in handy during the holiday season when you’re pressed for time or when you find yourself throwing dinner together for unexpected company.
SWEDISH APPLE PIE
Fill a 9 inch pie plate with peeled, sliced apples and sprinkle with 2 tsp. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon (I usually mix these together first for more even distribution of the spice). In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup melted butter, 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt (make sure that the butter is sufficiently cooled so that you don’t start cooking the egg!) Pour this mixture over the apples and bake at 350ยบ F for 45 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Enjoy!
