EEEEC: Chrstian Baier’s Apple and Raisin Pies
Entered under degustation and personification: apple and raisin pies for Fiery Knights.
Snacks for events are always a good idea. I looked through my German cookbooks and settled first on making some cherry pies. And then I decided the cherry filling / garb stain potential was a little too high at an outdoor event, and I had some apples that were at the ready for pie-making stage.
To make them a little more interesting, I chose a recipe that included apples, raisins, and spices. I made these for a tourney that was then sadly rained out, so decided to experiment with freezing these for a later event. If they defrosted and remained whole, tasty and crispy without any further heating, I could stash away a supply of snack pies in the freezer for future events when I had time for baking, without adding extra stress to event preparation.
They were perfect in texture and were delicious.
I later realised I’d made the same pies for a previous challenge, which is not surprising given they are made using staple pantry items: PGC A&S Challenge
