Prep time: 80 min
Cook time: 80 min
Total time: 80 min
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 400 g plain flour; 250 g butter or quality margarine; 100 g sugar; 4 egg yolks; 1 tablespoon sour cream (18 %); 1 teaspoon baking powder; 5 apples (approx. 1 kg); 2 tablespoons sugar; 20 g butter; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 150 g peach jam (or another to taste); 2 egg whites; 250 g powdered sugar; 50 g peach jam

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation Sift the flour into a bowl, add the sugar, baking powder, softened butter, egg yolks and sour cream. Work into a smooth semi-firm dough. Divide it into two parts – one will be the bottom, the other the top. Put the dough in the refrigerator to rest for 15 minutes.
Apple filling Peel the apples and cut them into small pieces. Melt the butter in a pan, add the apples, sugar and cinnamon. Gently stew briefly until the apples soften but do not break down. Remove from the heat and stir in the peach jam.
Assembling the cake Roll out the bottom portion of the dough and place it into a pan lined with baking paper. Spread the apple filling evenly. Roll out the second portion of dough, place it on top and press lightly.
Sugar glaze Whisk the egg whites with the powdered sugar into a thick smooth glaze. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the dough.
Baking Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for approximately 45–50 minutes, until the glaze turns golden and the dough is cooked through.
Finishing After cooling, lightly brush the cake with a thin layer of peach jam to enhance flavor and shine. Slice and serve.
