Eggless Apple Pie : Mother's Day Special!




"All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my Angel Mother."

A very happy mother's day people!

I know it's a very special day for all of us and I am glad we have a day to celebrate mothers! For those who dislike the mother's day concept, I have just one thing to say- We love celebrating Mother's day and making our mothers feel special today and that does not mean we just don't bother about her for the rest of the days! Those of you who don' t agree  to this, you can continue to argue and we will continue to celebrate and we all know who wins! :-) :-)

God, I seriously don't understand why people question celebration?!!
Celebration of any kind is such a good thing! We will celebrate , anyway! :-)

Well, my mother is my best friend,  my angel, my guide and my inspiration and the best thing is that she is a part of all my cooking escapades.Her touch and approval completes my experiments in the kitchen.
I owe my interest in cooking to her.When we were kids, she used to bake cakes, biscuits, pizzas, patties, make ice creams and try out new -new recipes every now and then.Her involvement in cooking ignited the spark in me to cook and the spark has led me to take cooking as my passion.

Mamma and I  are hard core gourmets as well and love experimenting with food and I find that we have similar choice and taste when it comes to food- which is another great aspect to our Mother- Daughter bond-our food connection! :-)

Now coming back to my mother's day special apple pie experiment :-

I wanted to make something special today and suddenly it struck that Apple Pie will go well with the theme of day- Apple pie for the Apple of my eye! :-)

I remember having a sumptuous home-made Apple pie made by my dearest aunt almost 10 years back , and since that day, I wanted to try making apple pie someday and thankfully it was today that I finally made it- I was feeling too lazy to hunt for my aunt's recipe , so I just googled and came across a recipe that i found interesting enough to experiment with and it turned out to be a real good one.

This one is very healthy as it is whole wheat flour based, is eggless and contains very little sugar and olive oil.All in all very low in calories and high on taste! -Yes, it tasted awesome! The only thing that I felt I could improve on is the shape, the folding of the two layers...but otherwise this recipe was great- very easy and yummylicious!

The only thing that I changed in this was that I chopped smaller cubes of apple.That's it.

Eggless Whole Wheat Cinnamon Cake


I tried this healthy cake today and it came out really well.
I wanted to make an eggless cake and a healthy one for that and when I came across this recipe, I found it was matching my criteria perfectly well.

This healthy bite is a real melting moment.It is very moist and very Indian in texture and taste.My 87 year old grand ma completely loved it.She said this is the best eggless cake she has ever had.Her compliment really made my day!

I personally would like to call it a perfect healthy Indian Cake.
This one will surely satiate your taste buds if you are all for the cinnamon flavour , moreover you can have a guilt-free cakey treat with this! :-)
