We are kicking off the morning in the kitchen with Chef Bobby.
Good morning, girls.
He's here with a sweet treat instead of tricks, right?
Yeah, no tricks this morning.
Good.
That's not my sleeve, I promise.
Except for that.
That's as tricky as it's going to get.
Happy Halloween, everybody.
Happy Halloween.
A little bubbly compliments of my guy there, Jimmy.
Not bad.
Chantel Jimmy.
We love Jimmy.
The lingerie cloué.
Oh, can't go wrong with that.
All right, all right.
What are you making for us?
It smells amazing.
So we're making an autumn, like, apple.
Pie, but it's a quick apple pie.
It's only like six ingredients.
So it's not super complicated.
This is big in Italy.
It's not very sweet.
So this is what it looks like.
Oh, look at that.
The layers of it all.
A couple hundred layers there, you know.
And then I got whipped cream over here if you want.
Yes, please.
I'll get you nibbling on that.
I'm going to nibble on that.
I'll take it.
Oh, that's so cute.
Beautiful.
Okay.
All right.
So now I'm going to show you how to make this.
If you look over here, I've incorporated, look at this,
this is like, they call this ribboning, right?
So I've taken two eggs, one cup of sugar,
you can reduce the sugar if you don't want a lot of sugar.
I'm on a little bit of a health kick right now,
I'm trying to stay away from the sugar,
so I've reduced the sugar by half.
But you're gonna incorporate,
you're gonna get all the grittiness
and all the little granules dissolved into that protein,
which is the egg, okay?
And you're not gonna dump it all in at once,
you're gonna incorporate it a little bit at a time.
That's the most important key.
You know you get clumps of sugar
and the sugar needs to dissolve into those eggs, okay?
And it's going to look something like this, give me a second here.
It's going to have like that ribboning effect, okay?
So that's what you're looking for.
I've started that ahead of time.
I have quarter apples and I've done...
Peel them, of course, core them, make sure the seeds are out.
I bought this really cool thing on Amazon.
This is a really cool little core,
and it opens up so you're not fighting it out.
I'm about to add that to my cart right now.
This is a very dangerous piece of equipment.
This is called a mandolin.
But look how pretty and paper-thin these are.
So perfect.
Everything's uniform, right?
So we're using red and green apples.
Yeah, we're doing a Granny Smith and a Pink Lady, okay?
Yeah.
And apples are the only thing that aren't ridiculously priced nowadays.
Hey, I know that's right.
My next segment, I'm using Snap Pea.
So I'm going to throw these over here
while I finish my ingredients.
So I have some melted butter.
If you don't have access to vanilla pods,
I'm going to throw a little vanilla extract
in there.
I'm going to throw a little milk in there.
Recipe's online.
We have our flour, our baking soda, and some salt, okay?
Okay, so you did say it was minimal ingredients.
There we go. We had salt.
I didn't pull the trick, it wasn't me.
That's it, that's it, and the apples, okay?
So we're gonna just incorporate this.
Beautiful.
With our egg mixture and our sugar mixture.
We're gonna add our butter and our milk, okay?
Yeah.
That's done.
Pretty simple.
We're going to add our apples.
Wow.
The one thing I encourage, my buddy Igor,
who is a Capuchin fryer, brought this from Belgium.
Smell this.
This is beautiful.
This is his mother's apple pie spice.
Ooh.
If I can get it open.
You come with nails?
Want me to try?
There we go.
Give that a whiff.
Mmm.
Isn't that pretty?
Nice.
I don't even know where to get that.
We can show the camera.
So this is how we're doing this.
Just like this, okay, guys?
Okay.
We got our...
Basically, it's a cheesecake tin.
And then sprinkle that in.
We've buttered it, okay.
Inside, put a little parchment paper in there
so it'll stick, pops out real easy.
And this is gonna get dumped in here.
350, convection bake.
If you don't have convection bake, 375.
For about 25 to 30 minutes.
Okay, it's gonna go right in the oven.
And no crust, so this is somewhat healthier
than the regular apple pie.
And I didn't even notice there was no crust.
Nice.
So this is kinda like a crepe base.
If you're gonna make a crepe,
Just put this on a tray, throw it in the oven,
set it, forget it, and you have company coming
over, you're ready to rock and roll.
And we've got that recipe, and it'll be on our website, right?
Amen.
Very yummy.
We are coming back for even more segments.
He's with us all morning, guys.
We're going to do something with shrimp
and some curry and some coconut milk.
We'll be right there to eat it all up.
And we will.
Thank you so much.
We'll be right back.
More, please.
