Preparation procedure

  • Dough preparation: In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, add the milk, egg, softened butter, cinnamon and sugar. Work into a smooth dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Apple filling: Put the grated apples into a pot, add about 2 tablespoons of water, the pudding powders, sugar and vanilla sugar. Stirring constantly, cook over low heat for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Then blend it until smooth and let it cool slightly.
  • Assembling the cake: Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll each part into a rectangle the size of the baking sheet (with a raised edge). Place the first sheet on a baking tray lined with baking paper, spread the apple filling evenly and cover with the second sheet of dough.
  • Baking: Place in a preheated oven at 170 °C and bake for about 30 minutes, until the surface of the cake is golden.
  • Finishing: Let the cake cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar and cut into slices.
