Pepernoten pie
 
  • 6 APPLES, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 100 GRAM SUGAR
  • 100 GRAM BUTTER, cold and cubed
  • 200 GRAM FLOUR
  • 1 EGG
  • 1 TBSP VANILLA SUGAR
  • 1 TBSP THYME, chopped
    		•   
    • 400 GRAM PEPERNOTEN
    • 7 EGGS
    • 10 TBSP SUGAR
    • 2 1/2 CUP MILK
    • 1 TBSP CORN STARCH
    • 1/2 CUP ESPRESSO COFFEE

    Mix the flour with the butter, the egg, 50 gram sugar and 5 tbsp water and knead this well. Refrigerate the dough for half an hour and roll it out into a circle, large enough to amply cover the bottom and sides of a greased pie mold. Put the dough in the mold and leave the edge hanging over. Distribute half of the apple slices over the bottom, sprinkle with the remaining sugar, the vanilla sugar and the thyme. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top and fold back the overhanging dough edges. Bake the pie half an hour at 180 degrees Celsius.

    		 Mix 3 eggs with 2 yolks, half of the milk, half of the sugar and the pepernoten. Pour this mixture in a cake tin and bake 35 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. In the meantime, mix the corn starch with two egg yolks, the coffee, the remaining sugar and the remaining milk and bring heat this, while stirring, until it thickens and almost boils. Slice the pie and serve with the sauce.
