Without a doubt, this is one of the tastiest apple pies: crispy dough, amazing cinnamon and citrus aromas and lots of juicy filling! In addition, if you have a pack of filo dough in your freezer, it's easy to make!
It is necessary
- - 4 large Golden apples;
- - 90 g brown sugar;
- - 0.5 tsp cinnamon;
- - 1 tbsp. strong aromatic alcohol;
- - juice and zest of half a lemon;
- - 90 g butter;
- - 12 sheets of filo dough;
- - 90 g of fine white sugar;
- - 5 g vanilla sugar.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the peel from the apples and cut into medium cubes. Drizzle with lemon juice (so as not to lose color) and mix with its zest.
Step 2
Put a cube of butter (from the total amount) in a frying pan, melt it over medium heat. Put apples in butter and simmer, stirring gently, for 5 minutes. Then add brown sugar and cinnamon, keep on the stove until the sugar is completely dispersed. Remove from the hotplate and allow to cool.
Step 3
To work with the dough, prepare a towel dampened with water to cover the filo layers: thin dough dries instantly! Dissolve the butter in a water bath or microwave. Spread it with a brush with a detachable form with a diameter of 16 cm.
Step 4
Grease a layer of dough with butter and put on the bottom of the mold so that the edges remain outside. Sprinkle lightly with white sugar and cover with another layer, turning it 90 degrees, which also grease with butter and sprinkle with sugar … Repeat the steps 4 times. Cover the 4th layer with the apple filling and continue to lay out the layers of dough until they are finished, smearing each layer with butter and sprinkling with sugar.
Step 5
Pick up the hanging edges and cover the cake with them. Do not press! The cake should look like a crumpled piece of paper. Cover lightly with butter and sprinkle with sugar again. Send to an oven preheated to 190 degrees for 25 minutes: the top of the baking should turn golden. Remove the finished cake from the mold only when it has completely cooled down.
