If you love oranges, you have to try this delicious pie with crunchy almond filling!
Divine pie with a juicy and crunchy orange-almond filling is one of our favourite desserts this part of the year. Oranges are just the perfect autumn-winter fruit, full of vitamins that strengthen the immune system in cold days. The sweet orange juice and orange peel in the filling create an excellent orange flavour and flood the whole apartment with a wonderful aroma while baking, making the pie juicy and giving it a nice sweet taste, which is even more amazing in combination with chopped almonds. Melted dark chocolate on top ads a nice touch and goes so well with oranges.
This pie is a real treat that is also pretty filling, as it contains many almonds, which are very nutritious and healthy, they contain a huge amount of vitamin E, B2, magnesium and many other vitamins and minerals.
Dough
Homemade shortcrust pastry is very tasty and so easy to prepare. All you need is:
- flour,
- baking powder,
- coconut sugar,
- vanilla extract,
- cold water,
- coconut oil and
- soy yogurt.
Prepare the dough by first mixing the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and coconut sugar), add the remaining wet ingredients and knead everything well so that you get a nice homogeneous dough, put in the fridge for at least half an hour so it gets a bit harder and it’s easier to roll out later.
Filling
The filling is quite unusual for pies as it is crunchy, which is what makes it so exceptional and special. The filling is full of flavor, as it contains:
- a lot of orange juice,
- orange peel,
- almonds and
- a little bit of rum in
- coconut sugar,
which create the perfect flavour when combined. The combination of almonds and oranges is simply divine and will surely impress you too. To prepare it, first chop the almonds with a knife, add fresh juice of two oranges, rum, coconut sugar and orange peel of two oranges (you can use the store bought organic peel or grate it yourself, but in this case be careful to use organic oranges).
