Biscoff apple pie
Irresistible Biscoff apple pie with Biscoff cookie spread and crushed Biscoff biscuits is on the menu today.
I know that apple season is not here yet. That doesn't mean I can't make apple pie in April, right? Especially if this is Biscoff apple pie. Yes, guys, you read it right. This is my new idea for homemade apple pie and I could not wait to share this recipe with you! This pie is to die for!
What is Lotus Biscoff spread?
Lotus Biscoff spread is an incredibly delicious cookie spread made by Belgian company Lotus Bakeries. It has a fantastic caramelised flavour with a hint of spice. Like a mild version of a gingerbread I would say. When is comes to consistency, you have an option between creamy or crunchy Biscoff spread. This is at least what you can get in shops in the UK. I am not sure about the availability in other countries.
I menitoned Biscoff spread but can not forget about iconic Biscoff biscuits. Cute, rectangular, light brown, crunchy biscuits. Just perfect as a snack with your coffee or as a part of your future favourite dessert Biscoff apple pie!
Is Biscoff apple pie easy to make?
Oh, yes! It is very easy to make and you can prepare particular parts of this dessert in advance. You can make pastry for this pie even four days ahead and store in the fridge until ready to use. You can cook apples a day earlier. Then, the next day, just put everything together and bake your beautiful pie.
Tips to make the best Biscoff Apple pie.
There are two tips that are worth mentioning. First, do not add sugar to your apples! The sweetness from apples and cookie butter is more than enough. Second tip involves cooking the apples until you get just the right amount of liquid. Apples can not be too wet as the pastry will become soggy. On the other hand, they can not be completely dry. Bear in mind that cookie butter will draw moisture from the apples and will make it dry. Leaving about 60-80 ml of liquid should be just enough.
What does Biscoff apple pie taste like?
It tastes absolutely wonderful! Chunky, sweet and tangy apples mixed with sweet, caramelised, smooth Biscoff cookie butter. You will not believe how addictive and wonderful this combo taste. I have added crushed Biscoff biscuits on top in order to create an additional layer of texture and add more indulgence to this simple dessert.
To sum up, Biscoff apple pie is a simple and wonderful recipe that will not disappoint you for sure. I hope you will enjoy as much as we did.
