I've always loved a good ol' traditional apple pie and now I've discovered my new favourite by adding chocolate in the pastry and chocolate amongst the cooked apples! Can't get much better than this! It is delicious! :)
Thermomix Chocolate Apple Pie - ThermoFun
Ingredients
Pastry
- 220g plain flour
- 35g cacao
- 130g butter, cubed, softened
- 100g sugar
- 1 teaspoon ThermoFun Vanilla Bean Paste
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 2 eggs
Apple Filling
- 25g butter
- 6 Granny Smith apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 20g coconut sugar
- 50g dark OR milk chocolate bits
Instructions
Pastry
- Place all pastry ingredients into TM bowl and combine 10 sec / speed 6.
- Take the dough out and bring it smoothly together with your hands forming it into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and place into fridge for at least 30 mins.
- Line an 18cm wide spring form tin. Roll the dough out and fit it inside the tin coming up the sides. Pastry should be approx. ⅘mm thick. Trim the excess once in the tin and make a small disc with these trimmings and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place this and the pastry tin in the fridge.
Apple Filling
- Place butter into TM bowl and melt 90 sec / 50°C / speed 1.
- Peel, core and dice 6 apples and add only half of them into TM bowl. Add cinnamon and sugar. Cook until apples have broken down and soft 15 mins / 100°C / speed 1 / Reverse.
- Add remaining apples and chocolate and mix 20 sec / speed 1 / Reverse.
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- Take the pastry tin and disc of dough out of the fridge. With a fork prick the base of the pastry in the tin a few times. Roll out the small disc of dough and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter.
- Tip apple mixture into the pie case and press down slightly. Gently fold the edges down a little over the apple. Place the cut out shapes randomly around the pie.
- Place pie into preheated oven and bake 35-40 mins.
- Dust pie with some icing sugar (optional).

Hi! Loving your blog!
Do you think it would be the same if I use pear instead of Apple ?
