It is a fragnant and delicious cake.
Ingredients
- Dough:
- 400g all-purpose flour
- 300g butter, very cold
- 50g Demerara sugar
- 2 yolks
- 2 tbs sour cream
- 1 tbs brandy (home-made plum or pear)
- 150g apricot jam
- Filling:
- 1 kg apples, peeled, cleaned, quartered and sliced
- 60g Demerara sugar
- ½ tbs vanilla sugar
- Cinnamon
- 80g raisins
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- Powder sugar for dusting
Directions
- Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs with no large lumps of butter remaining.
- Add sugar, egg yolks, cream and brandy, combine and bind the dough together.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for about 2 hours or overnight.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: lightly cook apples, sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and lemon juice for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Divide the chilled dough into two equal pieces. Roll out the dough into two rectangles (about 40 x 25 cm)on a floured surface. Place one of the rectangles into a floured (or lined with parchment paper) baking tin (app. 40 x 25 cm) and bake in the oven at 200°C. When a pale crust develops on top (after 10 - 15 minutes), remove the tin from the oven.
- Carefully smear the semi-baked crust with apricot jam. Cover it with evenly distributed filling. Place the second rectangle of dough on top and prick it with a fork.
- Bake the pie at 200°C for 30 minutes, or until done.
- Dust the still warm pie with powder sugar, cut into squares and serve.
