Grated apple pie
How to make grated apple pie
Ingredients:
1 piece egg
260 g flour
3 tsp cinnamon and sugar
3 pcs. apples
150 g butter
150 g sugar
baking powder for the dough
ice cream to serve
Grated apple pie: a step-by-step recipe
Step 1
To prepare the dough, take a large bowl, or clean the kitchen surface well if you are kneading on the countertop. First, let the butter sit at room temperature. The butter should be soft so that the dough is easier to knead. Then beat the butter and sugar with a mixer or whisk or grind it with a fork until smooth.
step 2
Add the egg to the beaten butter and sugar mixture and beat again until smooth. The sugar should melt. Then, in a separate bowl, add the baking powder to the flour and mix everything thoroughly. The dry mixture should be added gradually to the wet mass and knead everything well. You should get an elastic and soft dough, but not too tight.
Step 3
Divide the dough into two unequal parts and wrap both in plastic wrap. Put the smaller part in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, and the larger part in the freezer for 30-40 minutes. The larger piece should harden well so that it can be rubbed, and the smaller piece should cool slightly so that it stretches well.
Step 4
Wash the apples, cut off the skin and cut out the cores. Grate the apples on a coarse grater, and if a lot of liquid has formed, drain it (juice from apples is not needed).
Step 5
Remove a smaller piece of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out between two sheets of parchment. Remove the top sheet, and together with the bottom sheet, move the dough to the bottom of the baking dish. Spread the apples evenly over the dough. Top them with cinnamon and sugar. Remove most of the dough and grate it on a coarse grater over the filling.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven at 170°C for 35-40 minutes. From time to time, watch the filling caramelize and the top layer bake.
Step 7
You can cut the pie into portions and add a ball of ice cream when serving.

How to make Apple curd pie
Ingredients
For the test:
* 2 cups (240 g) flour
* 6 tablespoons (85 g) butter
* 2 egg yolks
* soak a pinch of saffron in 1 tablespoon of water
* ¼ cup (60 ml) of water
Filling:
* 5 medium sweet apples
* 3 cups (340 g) grated Emental cheese
* 2 eggs
* 1/8 teaspoon cloves
* ¾ teaspoon ginger
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 3 tablespoons (43 g) butter or lard for frying
* ¼ teaspoon salt
Apple curd pie: a step-by-step recipe
Step 1
Let's start with the test. To do this, rub the butter and flour with your hands. Add the egg yolks and saffron water and stir to combine.
Step 2
Gradually add the remaining water until the dough is smooth. Don't use more water than you need, you may not use all of it. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Step 4
Place the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out. Place the dough in a pie or pie dish and smooth out the edges.
Step 5
Bake the dough for 15 minutes. The middle should be covered with foil and pour ceramic baking beans on top of it (if you do not have it, you can replace it with dried peas). After baking, remove the beans and foil, then return the batter to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until the base of the crust is completely dry. Cool the cake completely before spreading the filling.
Step 6
For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Peel the apples and grate them.
Step 8
Melt the butter in a deep frying pan over low heat. Add the grated apples and fry them constantly stirring for about 5 minutes. Excess moisture should come out of the apples. Transfer the cooked apples to a bowl.
Step 9
While the Apple is still hot, combine the grated cheese, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and egg. The cheese will start to melt and help tie everything together. Spoon the mixture into the cooled cake and smooth the top.
Step 10
Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes. If the dough starts to get too dark, then you can cover it with foil. The pie is ready when the middle is no longer liquid and only slightly fluctuates.
Step 11
Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool completely, and then serve.
