Apple pie with meringue and nuts – notes
This meringue apple pie with nuts is a combination of everything I like in one cake.
Light semi-shortcrust base, a looot of roasted apples, sweet and fluffy meringue, and crunchy nuts.
Everything together tastes absolutely delicious.
This apple pie is the perfect cake for long autumn evenings. 🧡
Some time ago, I received some apples from my father-in-law and made roasted apples in jars – yum.
For this cake, I used two such large jars, because I love it when the apple layer in the apple pie is thick.
If you don’t have apples in jars, you can quickly make such homemade roasted apples.
How to make apples for apple pie?
Just peel the apples, cut them into larger cubes, and fry them with a little sugar and water in a large pot. Fry the apples until the fruit starts to slightly fall apart :) Their frying time largely depends on the apples you use. Crispy and soft ones will be ready faster, while hard and juicy ones will need a bit more time. If you want the fruit to have a beautiful color, you can add a little lemon juice to the apples. It will prevent the apples from browning too much.
If you like aromatic apple pies, you can also add ground cinnamon to the apples. Cinnamon gives the apples a slightly spicy and at the same time sweeter taste. Apple pie with cinnamon always smells absolutely intoxicating during baking. I personally love adding cinnamon to apple cake :)
Decide for yourselves whether you prefer apple pie with cinnamon or not. And I am convinced that in any case, this apple pie with meringue will taste delicious.
I hope this meringue apple pie with nuts will appeal to you.
