Apple pie with brandy
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil. Prepare the apple sauce. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown. Reduce heat to medium-low and add sugar, 1/4 cup water, and apples. Cook until the apples soften slightly and the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add brandy, and stir well. Return the skillet to the heat and cook for about 30 seconds, allowing the alcohol to evaporate. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Prepare the topping. In a bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and, using your hands, form large crumbs. Set aside. Prepare the cake batter. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In another bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together for 2 to 3 minutes. Add sour cream, egg, egg yolk, and brandy, mixing well. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread the apple filling over the batter, then evenly sprinkle the topping over the apples. Bake for about 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
