Warning: Do not make these early in the morning. The smell was way too intense!
40g tequila
Juice of 1 lime
1/4tsp cinammon
1 1/2tsp vanilla
4 granny smith apples, peeled and diced
6tbsp flour
3/4c brown sugar
- Combine the tequila, cinnamon, lime juice and vanilla in a medium sized bowl. Soak the apples for 15 minutes. Drain apples but don't discard the liquid, you need it later!
- Add the flour and sugar to the apples and combine well.
- Cut pastry to fit into a greased muffin tray (I used puff pastry, possible not the best idea, as the tops exploded!) - I think next time I will bake them in ramekin dishes instead, that usually works out better for me
- Pour in the apples, and top with more pastry or a crumble mix or whatever you want!
- Bake at 180deg C for 20 minutes odd (I didn't actually take notice of the time, but I made them in the morning and then reheated them for another 15 minutes that night which probably took total baking time to closer to 40 minutes, and they weren't overcooked, they were crispy and delicious)
As angry as I was that the tops exploded off these pies, they looked really cute! I combined the rest of the tequila liquid with some cream and icing sugar to make tequila cream! yum! The tequila wasn't noticeable at all, these pies were so so good, I'd definitely make them again. And there was none left after our dinner party, which is always a good sign.
