Apple and Walnut Pie made in layers of crushed walnuts, apples and cinnamon sugar.
Apple and Walnut Pie
I had some apples to use up and considered doing a good ole old fashioned apple pie but I settled on doing this Apple & Walnut Pie instead. This is actually an old Slavonian recipe that is intended to be made as a slab pie in an oblong dish and cut up into squares, but I had some ready-made Pillsbury pie crusts in the fridge that also needed to be used, so I decided to adapt it for a regular pie pan instead.
I also thought I would use the thin slicing blade on my food processor this time in order to slice the apples real thin (chip), but honestly, I wasn't real stoked up about the results. I should have known better to be honest, because I much more prefer texture to my apples and chipping them takes that away.
The pie tastes delicious of course, but the color was offsetting to me.
With such thin slices of apple and the walnuts mixed in, the filling got this tinge of color that was kinda funky lookin'. Under those new-fangled, environmentally green, energy saving kitchen light bulbs I have now, the pie looked kinda purple??! I think I'll stick with my little hand apple corer/slicer for thicker apple slices from now on.
I had Granny Smith apples and Fuji apples left, so that is what I used here, but you can vary the apples to what you like. BUT, in my little ole humble opinion, you absolutely must top this pie, while it's still nice and warm, with a big ole scoop {or two} of vanilla ice cream.
Here's how to make the not so pretty but delicious Apple and Walnut Pie.
