Apple Pie with Dry Dough
Description
Homemade baking for tea. If you’re looking for a quick recipe for successful tea‑time baking, I recommend trying this cake. It’s so tender, juicy, tasty and aromatic that you’ll hardly be able to settle for just one slice. A crisp crust with a literally melting apple filling of creamy consistency will please any picky eater. The preparation is very simple, even a child can manage, and the ingredients are accessible and practically always on hand. My pan is 18 cm in diameter; for a larger pan, double the ingredients. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
