Preparation procedure

  • Dough preparation: From the flour, butter, sugar, sour cream, baking powder, egg and a pinch of salt, work a smooth dough. Divide it into two halves. Roll out one portion and place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Roll out the second portion and cut into strips to use for creating the lattice.
  • Pudding preparation: Cook the pudding from the pudding powder, sugar and milk according to the instructions. Let it cool.
  • Apple layer: Peel and grate the apples. Sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon to taste. Squeeze them well before use so they do not release too much juice.
  • Assembling the cake: Spread the cooled pudding over the rolled-out dough on the baking tray. Spread the prepared apples on top of it. Lay the dough strips on top to form a lattice and brush with beaten egg.
  • Baking: Bake the cake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for about 35–40 minutes, until the lattice turns golden.

Preparation time and number of servings

  • Total preparation time: 1 hour 20 minutes (including baking and cooling)

  • Number of servings: approximately 12–14 pieces

Conclusion

Grandmother’s creamy-apple lattice cake is beautifully moist, gently scented with cinnamon and apples, and is guaranteed to create an atmosphere of homey comfort. It tastes great warm or cold and is suitable for afternoon coffee, tea, or as a dessert after a family lunch. If you want to vary the recipe, try replacing part of the apples with quark (tvaroh) or add apricot jam for an even richer flavor.
