How do you make steamed apple pie?

Steamed apple pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. Here's a recipe to make steamed apple pie:

Ingredients:

- 100 grams of self-raising flour

- 20 grams of sugar

- 140 ml of semi-skimmed milk

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

- 2 cooking apples, peeled and cored

- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

- 1 tablespoon of caster sugar

- Knob of butter, for greasing

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steamer: Fill a large saucepan with about 2 inches (5 cm) of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steaming rack or colander inside the saucepan, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.

2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the cooking apples into thin wedges. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice and caster sugar. Set aside.

3. Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and sugar. Gradually add the semi-skimmed milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add vanilla essence and mix until you have a smooth batter.

4. Assemble the Pie: Grease the inside of a heatproof bowl or ramekin with butter. Place half of the apple slices in the bottom of the bowl, followed by half of the batter. Repeat the layers with the remaining apples and batter.

5. Steam the Pie: Place the heatproof bowl or ramekin on top of the steaming rack in the saucepan. Cover the saucepan with a lid and steam the pie for approximately 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Serve: Once the pie is cooked, carefully remove the bowl or ramekin from the saucepan. Let it cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
