Name: Grandmother's creamy-apple lattice cake – a fragrant classic for your kitchen
Prep time: 80 min
Cook time: 80 min
Total time: 80 min
Yield: 7
Ingredients: 500 g plain flour; 200 g butter or margarine; 200 g sugar; 2 tablespoons sour cream; 1 packet baking powder; 1 egg; a pinch of salt; 8–10 apples; 2 packets vanilla pudding powder; 4 tablespoons sugar; 800 ml milk; cinnamon to taste; sugar as needed (to sweeten the apples)

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.
