This pie is not at all like the American equivalents. I prefer it, but I as raised in Hungary. The apples are barely sweetened, and all the sweetness comes from the crust. It's a delicious shortbread crust. I made this with some "wild-caught" apples from the forest. Required some extra chopping work, but after all the worms were out, the apples were perfect!
Ingredients
750 g shredded apple
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp vanilla sugar
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
200 g flour
75 g icing sugar
75 g butter
100 g sour cream
3 g baking powder
pinch of salt
egg wash
Preparation
Sautee the shredded apple with the sugar and cinnamon until some of the water content is evaporated. Allow to cool.
Mix the flour, icing sugar, salt, and baking powder. Knead with the sour cream and melted butter. Refrigerate for an hour wrapped in foil.
Preheat oven to 360F. Cut the dough in half and spread one half into the bottom and sides of a pie shape.
Roll out the other half into strings and press into ribbons to place criss-crossing on top of the filling later.
Fill the bottom crust and top with the dough stripes. Brush with egg wash. Bake at 360F for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and serve with vanilla ice cream.
