Apple stuffed tart

Someone call it “the grandmother’s duck cake” (actually  my grandmother also used to cook a very similar pie).

This is a crumbly tart stuffed with apples, raisins and jam, a kind of strudel in a more elegant version.

Soft in the middle, this pie gives a greedy and irresistible bite, ideal for a snack.

INGREDIENTS:

11 oz flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

1 egg yolk

5 oz butter

5 oz sugar

1 pinch salt

1 teaspoon lemon zest

 

3 apples

1/2 lemon juice

1 tablespoon flour

1 tbsp sugar

2,5 oz raisins soaked in hot water

 

all-purpose flour to taste

butter to taste

 

Apricot, peach or plum jam

 

confectioner’s sugar to taste

 

 

STEP 1: MAKE THE SHORTBREAD

If you use the blender place in the bowl: the flour + baking powder, eggs, butter, sugar, salt and lemon zest. Blend to get an uniform dough.

Alternatively, you can knead the ingredients by hand in a bowl.

Wrap the dough with clingfilm and place it into the fridge.

 

STEP 2: MAKE THE STUFFING

Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into cubes.

Put them in a bowl with lemon, flour, sugar and raisins.

 

 

STEP 3: STUFF THE CAKE

Remove the pastry from the fridge, take 2/3 of the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured pastry board.

Place the sheet in a previously buttered and floured pan.

Spread a layer of jam on the dough

Cover with the apple stuffing

 

Now roll out the remaining dough and cover the cake. Press the edges with fingers.

With a fork make some holes on the surface.

 

STEP 4: COOK

Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C for 1 hour and 5 minutes.

Once cooked and cooled sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar.

 

TIP: this cake is very crumbly, before removing it from the pan let it cool completely.
