Apple Pie

Ingredients
Pie Crust (9") - 2
Apples - about 8 cups (6-8 apples peeled and sliced) 
     - For best results use 2-3 varieties of apples
Lemon Juice - 2 tblsp
Sugar - 1 cup
Corn Syrup - 2 tblsp
All Purpose Flour - 3 tblsp
Ground Cinnamon - 1 tsp
Ground Nutmeg - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1 pinch
Turmeric Powder - a pinch
Butter - 2 tblsp
Egg - 1/2

Method
1. Take the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the lemon juice, sugar, turmeric powder, salt, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg to that and toss.
3. Add the flour and mix together.
4. Take one pie crust on a pie plate and fill it with the apple mixture.
5. Add small pieces of butter on top.
6. Use the second pie crust to cover the apples. Seal the edges and cut few slits on top for the steam to escape. (I have made a lattice top with the second pie crust.)
7. Brush the top crust with beaten egg to give a shiny finish.
8. Sprinkle some white sugar on top.
9. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 55 min - 1 hr until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Oats Masala

Oats Masala ~ Healthy Breakfast

Oats Masala

When the temperature comes down, I tend to crave for comfort food which is quick to make yet super tasty. And its also important that I include nutrient-rich vegetables to make it healthy. Its been pouring cats and dogs the past few days with no sign of any sunshine. On one such cold and rainy morning, I prepared Oats Masala which is close to Oats Upma recipe that I blogged earlier.

Oats Masala basically is nothing but inclusion of oats in Masala Upma recipe. I reduced the amount of semolina and included dry roasted instant oats, mixed vegetables and a generous amount of ghee. Oats and garam masala go well with each other and when they come together in the form of an upma it exudes warmth and spice. Be sure to serve Oats Masala warm and garnished with fresh coriander. I like to eat this oats recipe with home made tomato pickle.
