Apple pie
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. Choose juicy, firm apples for the pie. Ideally—green varieties. They make an excellent tandem with the sweet sponge cake batter and lemon filling. I’m telling you, serve it warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Mix the flour with the leavening agent and sift it. Add it to the liquid mixture. You should obtain a homogeneous dough with the consistency of thick sour cream.

Step 4
Wash the lemon and apples. Cut half of the lemon into pieces with the peel, removing only the seeds. Blend the lemon with the other half of the sugar. Peel the apples and remove the core — cut into pieces. Mix the apples with the lemon.

Step 6
If you use a silicone baking mold, you don’t need to grease it. If you use any other, grease it with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper. Place the dough.

Step 7
Sprinkle brown sugar on top to get a caramel crust. Since I flipped the pie when serving — the crust ended up on the bottom. If you also plan to flip it, you can sprinkle sugar on the bottom of the pan, then pour the batter. In that case the crust will be on top of the pie.
