- Preparation: 75 min
- Cooking: 60 min
- Makes: 1 serving (197 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 28 g Flour, all-purpose
- 17 g Butter, cold
- 9 g Icing sugar
- 4 g Egg yolks
- 0.5 g Baking powder
- 0.1 g Salt
- 130 g Tart apples, peeled and cored
- 6 g Sugar
- 2 g Lemon juice
- 0.4 g Cinnamon
Method
- Rub the cold butter into the flour with most of the icing sugar, the baking powder and the salt (or chop it in with a knife), add the egg yolks and knead quickly into a smooth dough. Divide it into two parts, about two thirds and one third. Wrap them; put the larger in the fridge and the smaller in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Peel, core and coarsely grate the apples. Cook them with the sugar and lemon juice for 10-15 minutes, stirring, until soft and most of the juice has cooked off. Stir in the cinnamon and leave to cool.
- Heat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking tin with baking paper. Roll out the larger piece of dough, or press it into the tin, prick it all over with a fork and bake it for 15 minutes until pale golden.
- Spread the cooled apples over the base.
- Grate the frozen dough coarsely over the apples, covering them evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden.
- Leave it to cool in the tin, so it slices cleanly, then dust it with the rest of the icing sugar and cut it into squares. In Poland it is eaten warm or cold, often with a spoonful of whipped cream.
