APPLE PIE

Recipe provided by the Stari grad restaurant from Čakovec

Ingredients:
2.5 kg of apples
300 g of all-purpose flour
150 g of cold butter
3 egg yolks
250 g of sugar
30 g of vanilla sugar
1 packet of baking powder
4 g of ground cinnamon
40 g of sour cream
1 egg (for brushing)

Preparation: Make the dough by mixing 100 g of flour, sugar, egg yolks, butter, baking powder, and sour cream.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and place them in the refrigerator to chill.

Peel and grate the apples, then add the remaining sugar, sprinkle with cinnamon, and drain any excess liquid.

Roll out the first portion of the dough and place it in a greased baking dish. Puncture the dough in several places with a fork. Evenly distribute the apple mixture over the dough. From the second portion of the dough, cut strips and arrange them on top of the pie. Brush with egg and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes.

Serve the warm pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and garnish as desired. Enjoy!
