Apple pie, with its flaky crust and sweet, spiced filling, is a classic comfort food that evokes warmth and nostalgia. However, for those with dietary restrictions like veganism or coeliac disease and for those with common food allergies and intolerances or dietary constraints due to beliefs, culture or religion, enjoying a slice of traditional apple pie can be a challenge.
The buttery and often egg-laden crust is off-limits for vegans or those with dairy, egg or wheat allergies, while the gluten in the crust is a no-go for those with Coeliac disease. But what if there was a way to capture the essence of this beloved dessert in a form that everyone could enjoy, regardless of dietary needs? Enter the OMG! Decadent Donut Bite Pie is a dessert that offers the familiar flavours of apple pie in a safe and delicious way for those with dietary restrictions.
The Inspiration Behind the Dish
This dessert reimagines the traditional apple pie by replacing the classic pie filling with tender, cinnamon-sugar-dusted donut bites. OMG! Decadent Donut Bites are not only vegan and gluten-free but also free from egg, dairy, wheat, yeast, nuts and sulphites. 100% natural with nothing artificial. To complete the dish, a generous drizzle of our beautiful apple cider sauce adds the perfect touch of sweetness and a nod to the apple pie flavour profile.
The Magic of Cinnamon Sugar
Hot fresh donuts are delicious with a liberal dusting of cinnamon sugar. This simple yet essential step elevates the flavour of the donut bites which already have a hint of nutmeg, giving them a delightful crunch and an irresistible sweetness. Even though we have so many different unique sugars on our menu of toppings, our classic OMG! Cinnamon is still the number-one crowd favourite. The cinnamon pairs beautifully with the apple cider drizzle.
The Apple Cider Drizzle: A Tangy-Sweet Finish
The crowning glory of this dish is the apple cider drizzle, which ties the flavours together and echoes the essence of traditional apple pie. The apple cider drizzle has a thick, syrupy consistency, intensifying the apple flavour and adding a lovely tang that cuts through the sweetness of the donut bites.
To finish the dessert, the warm donut bites are placed in a pie dish and drizzled generously with apple cider drizzle. The combination of the soft, cinnamon-sugar-coated bites and the sticky, sweet-tangy sauce creates a harmony of flavours and textures that is truly irresistible.
