extra: panko, butter for greasing the springform pan, 1 egg and a splash of milk
Equipment
Springform pan with a diameter of approx. 22 cm / 8,5 inch
INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):
Start by soaking the raisins in warm water and let them sit for a while as you make the dough.
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 347 Fahrenheit (top and bottom heat)
For the dough, put all the ingredients in a large bowl and knead until you have a nice firm dough. Divide the dough into 3 parts, wrap them in cling film and place them in the refrigerator for a while as you continue with the filling.
Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into slices. Then put the apples in a large bowl with the sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice.
Drain the soaked raisins and add them to the filling. Mix everything together well.
Grease the springform pan with butter.
Now take one part of the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin into a nice round sheet. If you don't have a rolling pin, you can also do this by hand.
Spread the dough over the bottom of a greased springform pan.
Roll out the 2nd part of the dough and spread it over the sides of the springform pan.
To get a nice crispy, well-baked base, now sprinkle a little panko or breadcrumbs over the bottom. Then pour the apple filling on top.
Now roll out the last part of the dough as well and use a small knife to cut it into long strips, about a finger's width. For a nice effect, place them crosswise over the dough in a diamond pattern.
Beat the last egg with a small splash of milk and brush the top of the apple pie with it.
Bake the apple pie in the oven for approx. 1 hour until golden brown. Let the pie cool for a while before slicing it.
Serve the apple pie as is or with a nice dollop of whipped cream, custard or ice cream. Enjoy!
