Apple Pie always makes for a sumptuous dessert when served with scoops of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup is drizzled on top. Homemade, freshly-baked pie packed with fresh fruit tastes better than anything you can find at a bakery.

Go ahead and cook up Chef Shivaramkrishna J's recipe that has a filling of apples, cashews, sugar, crumbled vanilla sponge cake, raisins and powdered cinnamon and just the right crispy-soft bite to it. Yum!

The chef, who trained at the Indian Institute of Hotel Management and Culinary Arts, Hyderabad, put in 17 plus years with the Taj group of hotels before joining Accor. Desserts are his forte.

Editor's Note: You can opt to substitute the sugar in the filling for brown sugar or jaggery or date jaggery.

The same recipe can be used to make pear pie, using a kilo of pears.

If your apples are on the more sweet side, add a dash of lemon juice to the filling.

Chef Shivaramkrishna J is the executive chef at Novotel Vijayawada Varun, Andhra Pradesh.
