Light grated apple pie 🥧

Knead the dough

1. First, measure out 200 g of butter and cut it into small squares.
2. Separately, sift through a fine sieve 500 g of premium wheat flour. Pour 400 g of sifted product onto a silicone mat, on which we will knead the dough.
3. We make a small depression in the center of the flour mixture, and then put the chopped butter in it.
4. Grind the components in the palms of your hands until you get a pea-sized crumb.
5. Add 10 g of baking powder there and continue kneading the dough until it is gathered in a ball and gains a homogeneous mass. If necessary, add the missing amount of flour.
6. We divide the resulting dough into two equal parts, after that we wrap one of them in a plastic wrap and put it in the freezer.

Prepare the filling

1. We thoroughly rinse the apples of sweet and sour varieties in the amount of 1 kg with water from the tap, then cut the core, remove the seeds and tail, and also cut the peel. Peeled fruits are cut into small thin cubes and put in a deep bowl.
2. Add 100 g of granulated sugar to apples and mix the ingredients thoroughly.

We collect and bake a pie

1. We roll the second piece of dough with a rolling pin into a round layer, the thickness of which should not exceed 7 mm.
2. Transfer the resulting workpiece to a baking sheet and give it a neat rounded shape.
3. On top of the dough we spread a mixture of apples and sugar, forming a fairly thick layer.
4. Sprinkle apples with ground cinnamon, sifting it through a fine strainer to avoid lumps. Determine the amount of cinnamon yourself, focusing on your own taste.
5. We take the first slice of dough from the freezer and rub it on a coarse grater. We spread the grated dough on top of apples, form a kind of “hat” from it.
6. We send the cake to the oven heated to 180 ° С. Bake a treat for 40-45 minutes.
7. We allow the finished product to cool completely, and then cut it into portioned pieces and serve.
