Ingredients for pastry:

3 and 1/2 glasses of plain flour
375 – 400g of real butter
3 – 5 tablespoons of sugar
6 egg yolks
1 teaspoon of baking powder

Ingredients for filling:

6 sweet apples
Cinnamon to taste
6 egg whites
15 tablespoons of sugar

Method:

Place the flour, butter, sugar, egg yolks and baking powder into a mixing bowl and knead until the pastry has a consistency suitable for rolling.

Divide your pastry into two halves. Take one half and roll it so that is big enough to cover a large pie dish with deep sides. Place in the hot oven (180 – 200’C) and cook for about 20 min.

Place the other half of your pastry into the freezer.

In the meantime prepare your filling: peeled and grated apples need to be slow cooked with cinnamon in a saucepan for about 30 min.

Then whisk your egg whites with 15 desert spoons of sugar until stiff.

When your first half of pastry is cooked place your cooked apples on top of the pastry and cover with whipped egg whites. Then take out from the freezer the other half of pastry and using a grater spread over your pie.

Place in the hot oven for another 20 min. And it's done.

Smacznego!
