October 5: Gift Delectable Apple Creations on World Teachers Day!
The tradition of giving apples to teachers stems from the 1700s. Poor farming families in Northern Europe would give baskets of apples to their children's teachers, because they didn't have any money. This tradition eventually traveled to the US, and really took hold in the 1920s.
World Teachers' Day is a great excuse to relive this tradition, but you could also look up some delicious dessert recipes instead. Why not give your teacher a home-made apple pie rather than an apple? Here at Dishfolio, we know that any teacher would be grateful for a dish like that!
Did you know that the association of apples with knowledge and learning comes from the Adam and Eve story, as the Tree of Knowledge was an apple tree? The humble, homely nature of apples has made this fruit a subject of some great food photography. Why not try something new with apples yourself?

Paleo Apple pie (nut free)
click to enlarge If you don't like "paleofied" foods, then stop here. But if you are up for a delicious apple pie made with a coconut flour crust, then keep reading. Like in my previous post, I've become a bit more hesitant to use nut-flours for baking, since exposing them to high temperatures causes them to oxidize, so I'm trying out more recipes with coconut flour. Having some apples left over the other day, inspired me to make an apple pie, so here we go. click to enlarge For the crust: 1 cup coconut flour 1/4 cup butter, soft (use ghee for a more paleo friendly pie) 3 eggs 2 tbsp coconut oil 1/2 cup shredded coconut punch of salt 1 tbsp water 1 tbsp honey Mix all the ingredients together, best way is to just use your hands. If the dough is a bit crumbly, add some water, but note that it will be a bit drier than regular dough. Line a springform pan with the dough. The diameter of the one I used is 20cm & 7,5cm deep. Next, peel and cut up about 5 apples, and add the following: 2/3 cup erythritol (or coconut palm sugar for paleo friendly version) 2 tbsp lemon juice 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground cloves 2 tsp cinnamon 2 tbsp melted coconut oil Fill up the springform pan with the apple mix, and if you have dough left over, line up stripes of dough over it. Last, spread some egg white over the top and bake in the oven on about 180C (350F) for 50 mins.
