German Apple Pie with “Cover”

For this German Apple Pie with a “cover” (as we say) all credit has to go to my mum. I didn’t actually make it but I was heavily involved in eating it. (And not just one or two pieces.)

Ingredients

• 350g flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 80g sugar
• 1 egg
• 170g margarine
• 2 tbsp almonds (julienne)
• 800g apples (peeled and cut “julienne” style, or roughly grated)
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 egg yolk
• 100g icing sugar
• pinch of salt
• lemon juice

Recipe

1. Prepare a short crust from the first 6 ingredients. Once done, put away to cool.
2. Wash apples, peel, remove stones and grate.
3. Use more than half of the dough and roll it out on an even surface. (Works really well between two pieces of cling film, which are easy to remove afterwards.)
4. Place the dough into a greased springform baking tin and pull up the sides slightly along the rim. Use a fork to repeatedly prick the dough.
5. Now put the apple mix together with the almonds and cinnamon inside the tin.
6. Roll out the remaining dough (again, between to pieces of cling film) and place it over the apple mix inside the tin.
7. Repeatedly prick the dough. Whisk the egg yolk & milk and coat the dough with it.
8. Bake for 50 to 60min at 160 to 170°C.
9. Mix the lemon juice and icing sugar together and glaze the cake once it has cooled down.

And that’s it. Bon appetit!
