Summer is really on it’s way to Denmark with all the sunshine we have been getting lately! This inspired me to make a delicious batch of rhubarb pie, vegan of cause, with apples. It can be served with freshly whipped heavy whipping cream or a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream, which can be found here: http://sweetchamomilla.com/recipes/vanilla-ice-cream/

Baking
- Bake the cake at 190°C in the oven at the lowest shelf in the oven for 45 min. Take the cake out of the oven after about 25 min and tilt it lightly over the sink in order to remove some of the exces water from the fruits (this ensures that the crust becomes crisp). Make sure that you do not pour/remove the fruit out as well!
