First, make a thin pie crust. After cutting it into long and square, stack the prepared sliced apples one by one and roll them up. After that, bake it, and done!
A rose-shaped apple pie that looks like it's blooming!
Luana looked proud at the apple pie, but only belatedly did she comes to her senses. She chose a pie to make an ordinary dessert and decorated it to the fullest. However, there was too little time to make it again. This meant that she should serve the rose-shaped apple pie as it was.
'Why did I do that?'
Somehow she thought she was a little too excited. Was it because she hid her identity and participated in a cooking contest? Luana groaned as she pressed her hand against her slightly pounding chest.
'What if I get picked at this rate?'
Then the duke's effort to hold a cooking contest will be in vain because Luana's cooking didn't lift the duke's curse. If possible, it was best that someone other than her was chosen.
'No, it can't be like this.'
While thinking so, her hand took out the strawberry jam she had boiled herself and put it on the pie with a brush. Then the rather dull baked pie color turned red and began to look more like a real rose. Apple pie was by far very stood out among other desserts.
'No, I don't know yet.'
She should've made it tasteless, or else the duke will find out who she is, and everything will be over. She decided not to worry about it in advance. When Luana heard someone call her, she took the apple pie and went outside.
The Emperor, Ingrid, Duke, and Way.
She calmly put down the dessert before them and took a step back.
"It's like a rose."
First, when the emperor brought it up, others added a word.
"Yeah, it's as beautiful as a freshly bloomed rose."
"It looks pretty, but I don't know how it tastes."
The duke criticized, but the overall evaluation was good. The emperor holds the fork while appreciating the apple pie more. He then took a bite and put the apple pie in his mouth.
In an instant, his eyes widened.
"This... is delicious'"
"Yes, it's delicious."
Even Ingrid said that and ate more. Then the duke picked up his fork and ate the apple pie. He first felt elegant sweetness, followed by crispy pie, which made his mouth happy. The sweetness was balanced with the right acidity.
In short, it was delicious. The duke looked at Luana with surprise. Their eyes suddenly met. Luana tried to smile naturally and turned her gaze away. Fearing that her identity would be revealed, she was not confident to look at the duke face to face.
"It tastes great. What's your name?"
The first compliment came from the duke.
The other judges and the audiences were surprised when they heard about the duke because it was his first positive evaluation. All eyes turned to Luana.
"Miria. My name is Miria."
Luana said the name she made up with a voice as low as possible.
"Oh, my God, is it true that the duke said it's delicious?"
"If my ears aren't wrong, I guess so."
"It's a miracle."
People chattered and tried to guess who Luana was. Since no one among the nobles recognizes her, so she is not likely to be a noble lady living in the capital. Then maybe it was someone who came from far away from the countryside?
