Sweet apple pie

I made this very tasty apple pie over the weekend! Better than all the rest! It is from the lovely book "A piece of cake"
by Leila Lindholm. Here`s how to: (it`s in Norwegian, if someone would like it in english let me know vibeke@vibekehoie.no)

PAIDEIG:
150gr kaldt smør ( i terninger)
4 dl hvetemel
1/2 dl melis
1 egg
1/2 ss kaldt vann

Ha smør, mel og melis i en bolle og bald det med fingerne til det blir smuldrete. Ha i egg og vann, og arbeid deigen forsiktig sammen.
Dekk den med plast og la den ligge i kjøleskapet i 30 min.

FYLL:
12 epler
saft fra en sitron  
50 g smær           
4 ss sukker
2 ts malt kanel
1 ts ingefær

Skrell, og del eplene opp i biter. Legg dem i en bolle med sitronsaften. Smelt smøret i en stekepanne, ha i sukker, kanel
og ingefær. Stek eplene (lettest å gjøre det i 2 to omganger). Eplene avkjøles.

　
Smør paiformen. Del deigen i to (den ene biten skal være litt større enn den andre).Dekk bunnen av paiformen med den store delen,
den andre delen er til lokket. Hell de avkjølte eplene oppi formen, legg på lokket og pensle med egg og melk. Strø over litt demerarasukker

Voila!

   Stekes nederst i oven i 35 min på 175 grader          

　

When you are sowing the seed of love...don`t forget water

You might recognize this couple from an earlier post this year. This is the illustration they where made for. It `s for an article about how to keep your love growing stronger. It`s for the norwegian magazine Kamille.

Rearranging the furniture

Some people do it all the time. Do you? This illustration was for an article about just that, for some of us rearranging the furniture is as normal as washing the floors. This illu is where this sircus ballerina first appeared. I quite like her, so I hope she will show up some more.

Family portrait of "the Frafjords"

Late last year I was contacted by Katrine Frafjord who wanted to surprise her husband with a family portrait for christmas. I had done one of these before for a wedding, and I enjoyed doing it so I sais yes and here is the result. Lovely family!

Happy New Year!

 

Happy New Year everyone!  I believe 2012 is going to be a good one, with or without birds. Today I worked on this cute couple, and they came to life to wish you all the best for 2012!
