Ingredients

  • Dough
  • 300 g flour (for cakes)
  • 150 g butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 120 g sour cream
  • 1 lemon (grated rind)
  • 40 g sugar (white, crystal)
  • 12 g baking powder
  • 10 g sugar (with vanilla flavor)
  • Filling
  • 1000 g apples
  • 10 g raisins
  • 4 g cinnamon
  • 30 g sugar (white, crystal)

Method

  • Make dough out of flour, breadcrumbs, and lemon rinds, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla flavored sugar and melted butter.
  • Mix everything in a bowl and at the end add egg yolks. Mix some more and add sour cream.
  • Mix more until you get nice greasy dough. If it is too greasy you can add some more flour. When done, put into refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, put the dough out and work a little to make it softer. Cut 1/4 of the dough and put aside.
  • During this, peal the apples and grate them in a bowl. Don't put sugar yet or apples will loose juice (put sugar last). During a day, assuming you have planned to make a pie, soak raisins in rum. When raisins get swelled put them into apples and add cinnamon. Be grateful with cinnamon. Now add sugar.
  • Roll the rest of dough into 1/2 cm thin sheet. Cover the bottom of 28cm low rim cake pan with butter, and put onto it a dough sheet. Make sure that the rim is also covered with dough from inside.
  • Pour apple stuffing on dough. Roll the rest of the dough into thin sheet and put over the apples making sure that it is covered.
  • Poke 10 holes with a fork on the cover. Put the pie into preheated oven on 180°C and bake 30-40 minutes or until it gets light golden. Before serving sparkle with caster sugar.
