Whether you’re hosting a spooky Halloween gathering or simply looking for a unique Disney inspired dessert, this pie will add a touch of Disney villain to the occasion!

Snow White Inspiration

We wanted to create a dessert that would transform the infamous enchanted apple into a tempting sweet treat. What better way than apple pie?

Even Snow White enjoys baking a fruit pie in the animated Disney movie, but her filling of choice for Grumpy is gooseberry!

Our poison pie is filled with small chunks of sweet apples paired with the tartness of raspberries to make a dessert that is hard to resist!

“Look! On the skin! The symbol of what lies within. Now, turn red, to tempt Snow White, to make her hunger for a bite” – Evil Queen.

The raspberries add a wicked twist to the pie, giving it a red color the Evil Queen would be proud of!

How to Make Poison Apple Pie

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (425°F).

2. Roll out one pastry block. The pastry should be around 5mm thick.

3. Line the bottom of your pie dish and trim excess pastry.

4. Cover the pastry with greaseproof paper and add the ceramic baking beans.

5. Blind bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is firm.

6. Remove the baking beans and greaseproof paper. Return the pastry to the oven for another 5 minutes. Set to one side to cool.

7. Add the raspberries and half of the sugar to a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.

8. Remove the raspberries from the heat and put them aside to cool.

9. Peel and chop the apples into small chunks.

10. Add the apples to a bowl with the rest of the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and corn flour. Mix well.

11. Roll out the other block of pastry to 5mm thick.

12. Use our template to cut out the shape of the poison apple.

13. Add the apples to the pie dish and cover with the raspberry sauce you made earlier. Mix slightly to ensure all your apples are coated with the red sauce.

14. Cover with your poison apple lid.

15. Place on the middle shelf of your oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake for a further 35 minutes. 

16. Leave the pie to cool slightly before serving.
