With the weather starting to cool down, there really is no better time to start making those delicious winter desserts. And our Thermomix Apple Pie is at the very top of my list!
Made from homemade Thermomix pastry, this apple pie is absolutely delicious. The flakey, crispy pastry will blow your mind… and really, is there anything better than a yummy apple filling!?
This is absolutely delicious on it’s own. OR you can make it a thousand times better by adding a good drizzle of custard or a big, big scoop of ice-cream (both are winners in our house).

Hmm, something went awry for me at Step 5 – cooking the apples. I ended up with basically an apple puree with only a few little chunks of apple. Should it have been on reverse? Or perhaps I sliced my apples too thinly? They were about 7-8mm slices, then quartered. They were nice firm Granny Smiths, and I followed all the instructions so not sure what went wrong…

Hi Colette, were your apple slices in the Varoma tray?? The blades shouldn’t have touched them in Step 5 as they are sitting up high in the Varoma 🙂
Step 15 needs editing…should say beaten egg (not pie).
Only other recommendation would be to add the weights so that measuring cups and tsp etc are not needed. Would prefer to weigh them using the thermomix. Otherwise great recipe. Easy to make.
