Apple Pie Recipe with a Provencal Twist
A panade can be a sweet or savoury dish that has a crusty exterior and soft almost custard-like interior. Panade is also used to describe a thickener a combination of liquid (milk, stock) and starch (breadcrumbs, flour, panko). In this case, the sweet crust is complemented by almost molten apples. Just try to resist a Panade aux Pommes!
This apple pie is low in sugar and a great balance of tart and sweet. The instructions for the pastry are included. However, if you buy ready-made pastry at the store it will save a lot of time.
