how to cook Easy Chocolate Roll Apple Pie?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350⁰F). Give the apples a good wash, then peel, core, and slice them into thin pieces.

TIPS: Wondering how to core apples? You can use a special apple corer or a small sharp knife to easily remove the core.

TIPS: Peeling apples can be made simple with a vegetable peeler or a small sharp knife. Choose the method that works best for you.

STEP 2

Take a large saucepan and toss in the sliced apples, along with some water. Give it a good stir, cover it with a lid, and let it come to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes.

STEP 3

Once the apples are done, strain the mixture through a sieve. Transfer the apples to a big bowl and add some sugar and ground cinnamon. Let the filling cool down.

STEP 4

In a small bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix it all together using a mixer at low speed until it becomes smooth.

TIPS: If your butter is too hard, a few seconds in the microwave can soften it up and make it easier to whip.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well!

TIPS: Keep in mind that the color of your chocolate filling will vary depending on the quality of the cocoa powder you use. If you want a lighter shade, go for more light cocoa powder, and if you prefer a darker hue, opt for the darker ones.

STEP 5

Now, let’s move on to the basic shortbread dough. Follow this recipe to prepare it.

TIPS: Swap out the basic butter shortbread dough for a delicious alternative. Try using shortbread dough made with yogurt (no eggs needed!), or experiment with nutty or corn flour-based options.

STEP 6

Place the shortbread dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper until it forms a 20cm by 25cm rectangle, and is about 3mm thick.

TIPS: For a hassle-free experience, try rolling out your shortbread dough between two sheets of parchment paper, Teflon sheets, or special silicone sheets designed specifically for rolling out dough. This method ensures that your dough won’t stick and makes the process more convenient.

STEP 7

Spread the chocolate-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.

STEP 8

Starting from the wider side, roll the dough into a log. Wrap the roll in cling film and pop it in the refrigerator for an hour.

STEP 9

Next, prepare the chocolate shortbread dough according to this recipe.

STEP 10

Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out into a 27cm circle (7cm larger than the baking tin) and a thickness of 3mm.

STEP 11

Grease a 20cm round baking tin. Use a rolling pin to transfer the dough to the prepared tin.

STEP 12

Trim any excess dough from the sides using a sharp knife. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

TIPS:  Don’t forget to let your shortbread dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This resting time ensures that your baked treats won’t shrink during baking.

STEP 13

Now, it’s time to fill the prepared tin with the apple filling.

STEP 14

Take the chilled log and slice it into circles about 5mm thick using a sharp knife.

STEP 15

Arrange the circles tightly on top of the apple filling.

STEP 16

Pop the baking tin in your preheated to 180°C (350⁰F) oven and bake the pie for 45 minutes until it turns golden and smells heavenly.

STEP 18

Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the finished pie for an extra touch of sweetness.

STEP 19

Finally, cut Easy Chocolate Roll Apple Pie into equal pieces and serve it alongside a steaming cup of tea. Bon appétit!
