Recipe for grandma’s delicious apple pie with almonds. In the springform pan with apricot jam.
There are many apple pie recipes and I have tried many. But I always like to go back to my grandmother’s old recipe.
Ingredients for the dough
- 200 grams of butter
- 200 grams of sugar
- 200 grams of flour
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 unwaxed lemon
Ingredients for the topping
- 800 g tart, firm apples
- 100 g sliced almonds
- 100 g apricot jam
- Butter and breadcrumbs for the mold
- powdered sugar
Preparations
Peel the apples, remove the core, cut them into eighths, and place them in lemon water. Grate the lemon zest. Grease a springform pan and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Preparation of the apple pie
Cream the butter with the sugar (if the butter is too cold, it can be warmed up briefly in the microwave) and 1 tbsp. Add flour. Gradually stir in the eggs and add the lemon zest. Mix the flour with the baking powder, sift through and fold into the batter. Fill half of the dough into the springform pan and top with the apple pieces. Pour the rest of the dough over it and bake the smoothing cake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 40 – 45 minutes. Turn the baked apple pie out onto a wire rack.
Preparation topping
Roast the almonds in the pan. Bring the apricot jam to the boil, spread it hot on the still-warm cake, and immediately sprinkle with the roasted almonds. Sprinkle the cake with icing sugar after it has cooled.
Grandma’s useful knowledge
If you want to freeze the cake, only pour the frosting over it after it has thawed. To do this, briefly heat the cake in the microwave.
