Apples are an inexpensive fruit all year round, and this fluffy dough takes less than five minutes to make. This quick recipe is particularly suitable for those who hate baking, who shy away from kneading and weighing the ingredients for a long time, and for beginners. The ingredients listed for this quick apple pie are intended for a normal-sized baking tray and the preparation time takes no longer than preheating the oven and including the baking time after 50 minutes a deliciously fragrant apple pie is on the table.

The many possible variations with other fruits and the ease of making this simple fruitcake make it a recipe to remember. This simple apple pie is always a success, can be prepared quickly and without much effort, and offers many variations because the amount of dough can be increased (or decreased) depending on the size of the baking tray and can also be used for other types of fruit.

Ingredients for the dough

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups of sugar
  • 1 packet of vanilla sugar
  • 1 cup oil (e.g. rapeseed oil)
  • 3 cups of flour
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup of sparkling mineral water

Ingredients for the filling

  • 5 medium apples
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Preparation

Switch on the oven and preheat to 175°. Put the ingredients for the dough in a bowl and process with a hand mixer to a creamy dough. The order of the ingredients doesn’t matter, you can easily add everything to the bowl first and then start stirring. Now grease the baking tray with a little oil or margarine, don’t forget the edge, and pour the dough onto the baking tray. Then peel the apples, quarter them and remove the core. Score the top of the apple quarters in a fan shape and simply place them on the dough. The cuts open the apple pieces during baking and make them look very decorative afterward. Finally, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apples. In the meantime, the oven is preheated and the tray can be inserted. After 35 minutes, the apple pie is ready, if you prefer the cake a bit crispier, you can easily leave the tray in the oven for another 5-10 minutes.

Useful additional knowledge

The fluffy dough can also be combined with other types of fruit, such as plums, tangerines, or apricots. Pickled fruits such as morello cherries or canned peaches also work well with this simple dough. In addition, of course, baking without fruit is also possible and after cooling, simply decorate the cake with a chocolate or icing sugar glaze and colorful sprinkles. The amount of dough is easy to vary, for example by adding or leaving out 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 egg, this simple fruit cake always turns out well.

This cake is a simple crumble cake. You don’t need any yeast for the preparation, so the cake is easy and quick to make.

Ingredients for the dough

  • 300 grams of flour
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • 150 g cottage cheese
  • 100 grams of butter
  • 2 eggs

  • 100 grams of sugar
  • 1 packet of vanilla sugar
  • milk as needed
  • 1 glass pitted sour cherries (i.e. without pits and drained)

For the sprinkles

  • 400g flour
  • 200 grams of butter
  • 200 grams of sugar
  • 2 pinches of cinnamon
  • 1 packet lemon glaze

Preparation of cherry pie

Sieve the flour for the dough and work it into a dough with the baking powder, quark, butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar. If necessary, add milk if the dough is too firm.

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and roll out the dough on it. Spread the drained cherries on the dough.

For the crumbles, knead the flour with the butter, sugar, and cinnamon into crumbles. The easiest way to do this is with the dough hook. The sprinkles are sprinkled over the cherries.

After the cake has cooled, prepare the lemon frosting according to the package directions and frost the cherry crumble cake with the lemon frosting.

Variant: add 100 g of ground hazelnuts to the batter and use chocolate topping instead of lemon topping. This variant gives you a wonderfully nutty taste.

Is there a link between eating fast food and dementia? Yes, say researchers from Australia. Accordingly, brain function can be significantly impaired by an unhealthy diet.

People would “eat their brains out” with fast food

The scientists at the Australian National University put forward the thesis that people who eat unhealthy food and do not exercise enough “the brain

The researchers presented the worrying results in the journal Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology. The Australian scientists evaluated around 200 international studies. They found that a person’s diet increases their likelihood of developing cognitive dysfunction.

Impaired brain function due to type 2 diabetes

Impaired brain function can result from type 2 diabetes, which is also triggered by fast food. However, there is also a direct connection between the performance of the brain and the diet – so the brain is damaged even without diabetes. ‘We found a clear link between brain deterioration and unhealthy lifestyle choices,’ the scientists explain.

Unhealthy Diet: Damage is irreversible

According to the researchers, anyone who had an unhealthy diet and exercised little up to their middle age can no longer reverse this damage – it is therefore irreversible. That’s why the Australians want to encourage people to think more about a healthy lifestyle and implement it as early as possible. This can protect you from dementia.
