The Irresistible Aroma of Baking Apple Pie:
Living in New England most of my life, every time I smell apple pie baking I’m instantly reminded of fall. The rustling of the trees on a brisk morning, combined with the leaves changing colors, always brings a cozy feeling. It’s so nostalgic that when this time of year comes around I always think of making apple pie. This Single Serving Apple Pie isn’t just a dish; it’s a bite-sized tribute to those stunning New England autumns. Quick and effortless, you have fall right into your kitchen without the need for a full-sized oven.
Which Apple to Use for this Single Serving Apple Pie
Selecting the right apple can truly make or break your pie experience. While there isn’t a strict rule book on the ideal apple for baking, personal preferences do play a significant role. For me, it’s always been about the Honeycrisp. Ever since I took that first juicy bite about 15 years ago, I was smitten. There’s just something about its perfect balance of sweetness and tartness that sets it apart from all other apples. While other apples have their merits, in my book, nothing quite compares to the unparalleled flavor of a Honeycrisp. So, if you haven’t yet, give it a try in your next pie; you might just find your new favorite!
How to Make this Single Serving Apple Pie
Making this pie is as breezy as a fall afternoon. First off, I like to peel my apple – it’s just how I roll. But if you’re feeling a little rebellious, skip the peeling; it’s your pie after all! Once you’ve shredded that juicy honeycrisp, toss it with some corn starch, honey, lemon juice and that ever-important sprinkle of cinnamon. Pop that mix into your ramekin and set it aside. Now for the fun part: the crust! Just mix some soft butter, flour, a smidge of salt, and a bit of water, and fashion it into a circular cap for your apples. Then, let the air fryer work its magic for about 20 minutes, and voilà! A cozy apple pie that’s all yours. No sharing required!
