Having so much in need of what is now called Comfort Food, I decided to prepare her cake par excellence: the apple pie. Apple is not exactly the original American Pie is a new interpretation a bit 'Italian! American provides the flour in the filling of apples in order to come to a dense but juicy pap ... I have not done: I simply put the apples dressed and go! But Americans do not have our renette that are perfect for cakes: they soften, they almost melt while maintaining their essence!
Since a few days ago I met Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on Rai, I got want to do the cake of the same shape as the one who prepares Snow White (with blueberries though!) when the witch comes to offer him the apple haunted.
cake easy easy, you just have a little 'of familiarity to stretch the dough, but if you do not have ... patience! There will come a bit 'more "rustic" in the form;)
brisee For the dough I make two notes: 1 - I have done it without sugar and I'm a little' sorry! Although you do not love the desserts too sweet, I must say that it would be better to add a little sugar, so I wrote the recipe I added 2 tablespoons of sugar! 2 - once I added an egg yolk because I had read somewhere that you could do (decreasing the amount of water) but the result is worse! Stick to one mixture of water, flour and butter!
doses of the filling are very approximate and depends on the taste! If you really like cinnamon add your own if you do not like, replace it with other spices, you decide to put the knobs of butter (about 5 I even for a total of 30 gr.), If you use white sugar and decide whether to use syrup 'maple or honey or anything! In short, sbizzarritevi!
ps. This delicious cake is slightly warm (a couple of seconds in the microwave and warm the heart of apple ammosciano not the pasta!)
for pasta brisee:
flour 350 gr. salt grip
sugar 2 tablespoons (optional)
butter ; cold 220 gr.

apples 6

Dice the butter cold from the refrigerator and knead with your fingers together the flour, sugar (if desired) and salt. Will form so many crumb. Add water a little at a time and knead quickly. The amount of water may vary slightly. Form a ball and wrap in plastic wrap or a cloth and store in refrigerator for at least an hour. Meanwhile, cut the apples, season with sugar, lemon juice, maple syrup and cinnamon. Store in refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 190 ° / 200 °. Roll out the dough and apples from the fridge the fridge. Halve the ball of dough and roll it out to a thickness of about 4 mm. Line a mold of 20 or 24 cm with baking paper and lie down dough. Fill with apple juice and seasoned that they pulled it out and add butter. Spread the other half of dough and place it on the fact as previously filled with apples. Seal the edges and make the cuts on the surface of the cake (you can simply make wide stripes which cover the cake). Brush with beaten egg yolk with a little water and bake for about 45/50 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
