The pastry has custard powder in it, gave it a lovely sweetness.

We drove over to Illinois, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis
(maybe not meaningful to a person from Australia), and picked a bunch
of apples. While there, my wife bought an apple pie that had a lard
crust. I'm not a pie lover, but she found it delightful.

I'll have to dig up my recipe and post it. If you/she like sweet things,
you'll love this one.

I made it for a dinner party we had....... and didn't get to even try it!!
As soon as the guests tried it, they immediately went back for seconds, and
in one case, thirds.


But...... a *lard* crust??!!

I guess it's an American thing. I agree that butter tastes better,
but lard is lower in moisture, and reputedly makes a better textured
crust. Lard, whatever its downsides, is also healthier than
hydrogenated shortening, which is what they use all too often here in
the USA..

Hmmm. I've never given a thought to using a springform pan for apple
pie. How did you get that inspiration?

Consider it the "old fashioned" way to make crust.

Me neither. And do you have a recipe? Although I'm not sure what
"custard powder" is...

The Dutch make a WONDERFUL apple pie (gebak) that is also made in a
springform pan. It has a delightful crust also. Instead of being a IMHO
nasty, icky American pie crust, it is almost like a butter cookie crust that
is pressed or rolled to line the pan. It's wonderful. It usually also has
a lattice top.

Perhaps if you didn't slice them so paper thin.

Apple pie.... pie pan..... springform pan.......... helluva lot easier
to take the (*very* high sided) pie out of a springform than out of a
'normal' pie dish.


I also do a lot of my cheesecakes in springform pans.

The best bit of Dutch cooking I ever learned was way back in the 70's
and I picked it up from the mother of my (then) girlfriend (Girda).

Cabbage, lightly steamed, tossed with butter and curry powder.

Every time I've had it since then, I've thought of a beautiful blonde
haired girl with big bazoombas.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;-)
