A large homemade apple pie with grated raw apples (without pre-frying).
Ingredients
Dough
- flour, 4 cups
- baking powder, 2 teaspoons
- sugar, 1 cup
- vanilla sugar, 1 package
- butter, 200 g
- whole eggs, 2
- egg yolks, 2
- thick homogenized cream, 3 tablespoons
Apples
- apples (renety, antonówki), 2 kg
- cinnamon, 1 teaspoon
- lemon juice, from 1/2 lemon
- breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon
Preparation
Mix flour with baking powder, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Add cold butter cut into pieces and chop with a knife on a pastry board or mix with a mixer attachment for shortcrust pastry, or rub with your fingers into a crumb mixture. Add eggs, egg yolks, and cream. Knead the dough until smooth. Divide into two parts, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
Peel the apples, cut them into quarters, and remove the cores. Grate the apple quarters on a large grater and put them in a large bowl (you can gently squeeze out the excess juice). Add cinnamon, lemon juice, and breadcrumbs. Mix well.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Prepare a large round springform pan at least 28 cm in diameter or a rectangular pan 20 x 30 cm. If necessary, line with baking paper. Roll out half of the dough and place it on the bottom of the pan (if the dough is too soft, you can cut it into slices, lay them on the bottom, and patch up the missing places with your fingers). Place the apples on the dough and gently press down. Place the second part of the dough on top, also rolled out or cut into slices and laid on top. Put in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Remove, let cool, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
