Apple Pie POM

This is my recipe for apple pie with pomegranate. The soft crunchy apple pie is perfect with sweet and juicy pomegranate.
It is easy to assemble and bake in the oven in no time.

Ingredients:

1 piece storebuck pie crust

2 gala apples (peeled, core and slice)

brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar

Prepare the apple first. Peel the apple skin off. Core it and then slice it about 1/4 inch. Pour in the lemon juice to keep the apple from browning.

Turn the oven to 400 degree F.

I am using an oval 5 inches ceramic pie pan. Line up a pie crust at the bottom of the pie pan. Crimp the edges. Then layer the pie crust with the apple. Sprinkle brown sugar and the cinnamon sugar. Layer it again with apple. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon sugar. Keep doing this until apple fill 1/4 from the top. Add a layer of pomegranate seeds. Leave some for garnish to the end product.

Top the pie with another layer of apple. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon sugar. On the last layer, cut the pie crust into 3 strips. Then twist it and line it up at the top. Crimp the end to the edges of the pan.

Spray the pie with baking cooking oil. Dollup some butter. Turn the oven heat to 325 degree F. Bake this in the oven on 325 degree F for about 20 minutes or until crust brown. Let the pie cool down before serving. Sprinkle with left over pomegranate seeds. Enjoy!

The shrimps in this recipe have a nice ginger and spicy flavors and when combined with the sweet and juicy pomegranates and baked apple it creates scrumptious taste. This dish just make my dinner feels like heaven.


Ingredients for this recipe are:
9 large shrimps
1 Gala apple
3 wooden skewer
1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds (garnish)
1 inch fresh ginger root (grated)
1 tablespoon old bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
cooking oil spray
4 tablespoon lemon juice

Ingredients for POM sauce:
1 cup pomegranate seeds
2 tablespoon corn syrup
a pinch of salt
1 cup water

Method to make promegranate sauce:
In a small pot, boil water and add pomegranate seeds. Once boiled, turn the heat on low and add corn syrup and tiny pinch of salt. Simmer for 10 minutes until reduced. Turn off the heat and let it aside to cool down.

Method for the shrimp and apple skewer:

Clean and devein the shrimps. In a bowl, add the shrimps with grated ginger, old bay seasoning and paprika. Rub well into the shrimp. I leave the shrimp's shell on. You can remove the shrimp's shell if you like. Set the shrimps aside.

Core out the gala apple. Then dice it about 1/2 inch bite size. I leave the apple's skin on. Then pour the lemon juice onto the diced apple. This will prevent the apple from turning brown.

Take the skewer. You can use bamboo, wood or metal skewer. Thread the apple first onto the skewers at its deepest part. Then thread in the shrimp. Keep alternate threading the apple and the shrimp until it fills the skewer. Finish this off with a piece of gala apple at the sharp end. Line the skewer on a rack. Spray with cooking oil on both sides.

Bake the shrimps on skewer at 400 degree F for about 20 minutes. Open the oven and turn the skewer onto the other side. Cook for another 20 minutes or until shrimps turn pinkish and cook through.

Serve the baked shrimps and apple on a plate. Drizzle this good heavenly smell shrimps dish with some POM sauce. Lastly, garnish this dish with lots of juicy and beautiful red delicious pomegranate seeds. Enjoy!
