Apple Pie with an African Twist!

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I just had to let you all in on this yummy recipe sent in by Ava from Apple Pie Recipes!

Amarula Cream Apple Pie
1 Premade Double Crust Pie Pastry
6 Cups Of Chopped Skinless Green Apples
1/2 Cup Of South African Amarula Cream Liqueur
1 Tablespoon Of Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
1/2 Cup Of  Unfiltered Apple Juice
2 Tablespoons Of Softened Unsalted Real Butter
2 Tablespoons Of Pure Cornstarch
1/2 Cup Of White Granulated Sugar

Serves 8, 445 Calories Per Serving, 12 Grams Of Fat

Line a nine inch (22cm) pie pan with the bottom crust layer. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F, or 205 degrees C. Put the chopped skinless green apples, unfiltered apple juice, and sugar in a saucepan and heat the ingredients over medium heat, stirring until the apples become slightly tender. Next remove the saucepan from the burner, and then thoroughly stir in the South African Amarula Cream Liqueur, lime juice, pure cornstarch, and one tablespoon of butter. As the pie filling cools stir it continuously until it begins to thicken. Spoon the thickened pie filling into the pie pan, then cover it with the top crust layer. Tightly flute the edge of the crust together, then make several incisions in the top of the pie so that it can breath. Next evenly spread the remaining tablespoon of butter over the top of the pie crust, then sprinkle it with a little leftover sugar. Bake for roughly twenty minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Serve it warm.

LMFAO Friday: Overlanders are not the only party animals in Africa

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Elephants stumbling home drunk after a heavy night at the pub, monkeys falling flat on their faces. Watch this hilarious (and cute) video to see what happens when Africa’s wildlife has one too many…

With more than 100,000 view on YouTube, this video illustrates that gap year students on an overland tour, are not the only ones to have “one too many” in the wild savannahs of Africa.

Note: This video is NOT set-up! It is a well documented fact that elephants and many other African animals get drunk from eating fruit that falls to the ground and ferments under the hot African sun. The fruit from the Amarula Tree is apparently an elephants favourite!

Enjoy – Andre.
