Apple Cider Pie

Since the apple pie has become the go-to pie and everyone more or less knows it, I decided to bake it somewhat differently. There are no actual apples used in this pie but it still has a distinct sour apple flavour that complements the delicious custard filling. The original recipe says to use 1 litre of apple cider but I wasn't able to find any except for a half a litre bottle of cider at the local farmer's market. I just added a half a litre of genuine apple juice and used that instead. The result still has the cider taste in it but it is weaker and I think it makes the pie sweeter than it would originally be.

The pie crust is the exact same as from my previous pie and it's super easy to prepare. Just, as usual, it needs couple hours to stay in the fridge.

Rainbow White Chocolate Brownies


This Saturday marks the second time that there will be a Pride event held in Prague. To celebrate diversity and a little extravagance I've decided to prepare a batch of rainbow coloured brownies since I had to do it before the weekend and brownies are so easy to make, they were perfect for a last minute baking project.

I wasn't nervous about using the food colouring as it wasn't my first time working with it (that would be the cute heart muffins) but I hoped the colours wouldn't mix and spoil the result. Eventually, that didn't happen and the colours stayed separated, layered and the brownies looked great when cut.

There's 6 colours to the LBGT flag and colouring 6 batches of dough turned out to be quite lengthy. I suggest you start preheating the oven halfway.
