The video began with the culinary expert peeling an apple as onlookers watched from outside the shop. He then washed the chopped apples and boiled the peel in water. After cooking the peel, the chef drained the liquid into a separate bowl and stirred the consistency until thick. Next, butter, chopped apples, sugar and milk were added to the red puree. As bubbles formed, he added a dollop of fresh cream and chocolate. The mixture was then combined with cookie cream and apple crumble in a mini cauldron. The result was a glossy, apple-like pastry, which was dipped in red food colouring. Voila! The apple pie was ready and served to delighted customers. “An apple of Love for February 14, 2025,” read the caption.
