Ingredients

12 pieces
For the dough:
  • 1 egg (medium)
  • 225 gram butter (unsalted – at room temperature)
  • 225 gram light brown sugar
  • 450 gram self-raising flour
  • 1 sachet vanilla sugar
  • pinch of salt
For the filling:
  • 100 gram raisins
  • 1.5 kg apples
  • 50 gram sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 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!
