Apple Pie

Apple pie is one of my favorite desserts, especially fruit desserts.  This one uses Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples, providing a firm fruit filling with a sweet-tart taste.  The type of apples you use will greatly influence the taste and texture of your pie.  I hope to experiment with a few various apples in this recipe in the future.  I suggest you buy a few apples you’d like to use and taste them before buying all you need for a pie, to make sure they are good and have the flavor you want.  After all, it is the main ingredient.

I like the simple elegance of this dish.  It’s great for a dinner party, but simple enough for an everyday salad too.  The sweet-tart apples pair well with the sweet fennel and juicy bursts from the pomegranate seeds.  The cucumbers help to balance out the flavors.

Adapted from Ratio, by Michael Ruhlman

This recipe utilizes the traditional muffin/quick bread ratio.  It worked out great.  I cannot remember if I’ve used this one yet, since I don’t often make muffins.  Possibly I used this recipe for my pumpkin muffins.
