Upside-Down Vegetarian Apple and Cinnamon Pie

Say hello to Mishkin my cat!  Even he loves this pie and trust me he is very picky when it comes to food. He just couldn't leave it out of sight that tempting it was for him. Isn't he cute? He's not always like this you know, peaceful and quiet...oh no.. he's a trouble-maker but I love him anyway.

I don't usually eat baked goodies because I'm not a huge fan of flour-based desserts but this pie is definitely a must-try! It is just perfect for this season and you'll love how all flavors blend together. Also, you can substitute apples with any other fruit you like; I also tried it with sour cherries and peaches and it's just as great. I will not make a habit from eating baked desserts (I still prefer them raw) but from time to time a lovely, warm dessert like this one is just perfect especially now when it's so cold outside.

So for all you animal lovers out there, here's a lovely apple and cinnamon pie to warm your souls and put a sweet smile on your faces!

His face expression says it all!

Ingredients:

3 eggs

2 apples, sliced

1 cup rye flour

1/2 cup sucanat

2 tbsp unrefined oil

1 tbsp lemon zest

1 tbsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp rum extract

2-3 tsp ground cinnamon

50 ml water

Sniff..Sniff...Miamm!

Directions:

Separate egg yolks from the whites. Whip egg whites until they have a foamy texture.

In a separate bowl, add water and mix it with sucanat until it is dissolved. Pour this over the beaten egg whites.

Add the other ingredients except apples and blend well together using a hand mixer.

Put some parchment paper on your cake/pie form. Place the sliced apples on the bottom and pour over the pie mixture.

Place in oven at 356˚ for about 50 minutes.

Let it cool for a little while, turn it upside down and serve!

 Look at that innocent face...well..not so innocent in fact!

Ha! Gotcha! He received a gentle slap after this! Ha ha!
