Necessary Ingredients

• • Apples : 4 large units
  • Wheat flour : 4 tablespoons
  • Demerara sugar : 4 tablespoons
  • Unsalted butter : 30 grams, melted
  • Eggs : 2 medium units
  • Baking powder : 1 teaspoon

  Preparation Method

  1. Preheat the Oven : Before starting, heat your oven to 180ºC to ensure the pie bakes evenly.
  2. Prepare the Dough :
     • • In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
       • Add the demerara sugar and lemon zest and mix well.
     • Add the melted butter, wheat flour and baking powder, stirring continuously until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous dough.
  3. Assemble the Pie :
     • Peel and slice the apples into thin slices. To prevent them from browning, sprinkle them with lemon juice.
     • Fold the apple slices into the dough mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  4. Bake the Pie :
     • • Grease a pan approximately 20 cm in diameter and pour the mixture into it.
     • Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 55 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
  5. Serve :
     • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This delicious treat can be enjoyed on its own or with tea or coffee. You can also top the pie with a generous dollop of apricot jam, dulce de leche or a scoop of ice cream for a special touch.
