Autumn is a time of warmth, comfort and aromas that envelop the house. One of the best ways to create a special atmosphere for the family is to prepare a fragrant cake with apples and cinnamon.
This dessert combines the sweetness of juicy apples with a spicy hint of cinnamon, perfect for an evening with a cup of tea.
Ingredients for the pie
For the base:
200 g of wheat flour
100 g butter (cold)
2-3 st. l. cold water
1 Art. l. sugar
A pinch of salt
For the filling:
5-6 medium apples (sweet and sour varieties are better)
3 Art. l. sugar (or to taste)
1-2 hours l. ground cinnamon
Juice of half a lemon
1 Art. l. corn starch (for thickness)
For filling:
2 eggs
200 ml of cream (20-30%)
2 Art. l. sugar
1 hour l. vanilla sugar
Step-by-step recipe
1. Prepare the dough.
Mix flour, sugar and salt in a bowl.
Add the cold butter, cut into cubes, and rub it with the flour until it becomes crumbly.
Add water to form a dough. Wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2. Preparation of the filling.
Peel and core apples, cut into thin slices.
Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent them from darkening.
Add sugar, cinnamon and starch, mix gently.
3. Form the base of the pie.
Roll out the cooled dough and place it in a baking dish (22-24 cm), creating sides.
Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent the dough from puffing up during baking.
4. We assemble the cake.
Spread the apple filling in an even layer on the dough.
In a bowl, mix eggs, cream, sugar and vanilla sugar, beat until smooth. Pour this mixture over the apples.
5. We bake.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the cake for 40-50 minutes, until the filling is set and the surface is golden.
Innings
Cool the cake a little before serving so that it is easier to cut. Decorate it with powdered sugar or a sprig of mint for aesthetics. Such a cake tastes good both warm and cold, especially in combination with tea, coffee or milk.
Tips for the perfect pie
The right variety of apples. Choose sweet and sour varieties that hold their shape well during baking, for example, Antonivka or Granny Smith.
Additional spices. A pinch of nutmeg or ginger can be added to the cinnamon for a richer aroma.
Creamy taste. If you want to give the pie a creamy shade, add 50 g of processed cheese to the cream filling.
Autumn pie with apples and cinnamon is not only a dessert, but also an opportunity to create an unforgettable atmosphere of warmth and coziness for the whole family. Try it, and your loved ones will definitely appreciate this delicacy!
