eatcation series: german apfelkuchen (apple pie)

eatcation trip to apple picking resulted in this delicious pie


for pie shell:
150 g flour
50 g sugar (brown)
80 g butter (unsalted)
1 egg
1 pinch salt

for the filling:
800 g apples (on the tart side)
1 tbsp lemon juice
100 g walnuts, crushed

for the liquid filling:
40 g brown sugar
2 eggs
200 g thick fatty yogurt

Mix flour, sugar, egg, and salt into a dough and let it cool for 1 hour.

Peel apples, core them, and cut them into 8ths.  Then mix them in lemon juice so that they don't brown.

Roll out your dough so that it fits in to a 28 cm diameter pie dish and pull up the edges.  Lay the apple pieces in the dough shell and sprinkle the roughly chopped walnuts on top.

Beat the sugar and eggs until they are foamy.  Fold in the yogurt.  Pour this mixture over the apples and bake at 170° C for approx 60 min.  Prick the pie with a fork until nothing sticks to it.

Serve with freshly whipped cream.
