Apple pie with vanilla cream

This recipe for apple pie comes from my family. It's very old and I couldn't  find anything similar on the internet. We all love this pie, both my husband and I, and I am making it very often, or to often, and since it contains sugar, I decided to make little healthier version. I did some changes and instead of sugar, I used Stevia.


About Stevia, I will only say that it's absolutely healthy and natural substitute for sugar.

It contains 0 calories, and it doesn't increase your blood sugar and comparing to sugar, Stevia has some nutritional value (zinc, magnesium, vitamin A and C etc.).

Anyway, this time I won't write real recipe but modified version, and if you read more about Stevia, you will see that it doesn't react same on heating as sugar does, so changes has to be made in the original recipe. I promise that I will make original version some day and show it to you because it's worth it. :)

Pita sa jabukom i vanila krem

Porodicni recept, jako star i meni omiljeni. S obzirom da ga jako cesto spremam, odlucila sam se da ga adaptiram u zdravu verziju, zamenivsi secer jednom potpuno prirodnom i zdravom zamenom, steviom.

Reci cu samo da stevia sadrzi 0 kalorija, da je nutritivno bogata i da ne utice na porast secera u krvi.

Originalni recept ostavljam za neku drugu priliku, s obzirom da stevia nema ista svojstva kao secer pri zagrevanju, niti daje gustinu zumancima pri mucenju, originalni recept zaista zasluzuje da bude objavljen jednog dana.

Potrebno:

• 5 vecih jabuka, nakiselih
• 11 kasika stevie
• 1 1/2 kasicica ekstrakta vanile
• 2 1/2 kasike cimeta
• 5 jaja
• 10 kasika griza
• 2 kasike prezli
• 50g butera
• 6 kasika vode
• 1 kasicica praska za pecivo

Za vanila krem:

• 5 dl mleka
• 3 kasike stevie
• 1 kasicica ekstrakta vanile
• 2 kasike brasna od krompira
• malo vode

Priprema:

1. Oljustiti jabuke, ocistiti od semenki i tanko naseci. Izmesati jabuke sa 2 kasike cimeta i 5 kasika stevie. Pleh za pecenje prekriti papirom za pecenje i posuti prezlama. Sipati jabuke i rasporediti po dnu.
2. Odvojiti belanca od zumanaca. Izmiksati belanca sa 3 kasike stevie, grizom, vodom i 1 kasicicom ekstrakta vanile. Preliti preko jabuka i peci na 200 C stepeni nekih 15 minuta. Proverite u medjuvremenu da li su jabuke pecene. Ukoliko su mekane, izvadite pleh iz rerene ranije.
3. Dok se jabuke peku, umutiti penasto zumanca sa preoslom steviom, vanila ekstraktom, buterom  i praskom za pecivo. Pecene jabuke preliti zumancima i vratiti u rernu da se dopeku.
4. Kolac je gotov kada je korica od zumanca zlatno braon boje.
5. U medjuvremenu dok se kolac pece, skuvajte vas vanila krem.
6. Prokuvati mleko sa vanilom, brasno izmesati sa malo vode i steviom, dodati u kljucalo mleko i mesati sve vreme dok se krem ne skuva. Skloniti sa vatre da se ne bi napravile grudvice. Krem ce biti tecan, ali takav i treba da bude.
7. Ohladiti vaila krem i servirati preko parceta pite od jabuka.
8. Uzivati u slatkom ukusu bez trunke secera i straha da cete posle ovakvog zalogaja morati da trcite  5 krugova oko zgrade :).
