Apple pie with caramel

A vibrant caramel dessert in which the apples take on a rich flavour and give the caramel their tanginess. The texture of the pie turns out velvety, creamy and very juicy. It's hard to put into words how delicious this is — you have to make it and try it!

26 cm frying pan with handle, glass lid, non-stick coating, "Granit Ultra" line (Original)

Ingredients: For the shortcrust pastry: Egg yolk - 2 pcs. Lemon juice - 1.5 tbsp. Cold water - 3 tbsp. Flour - 300 g. Butter - 150 g. Sugar - 3 tbsp. Salt - 1/3 tsp. Baking powder - 1/2 tsp.

For the filling: Apples - 6-7 pcs. Cinnamon - to taste Butter - 30 g Sugar - 1-2 tbsp.

For the caramel: Cream 33% - 200 g. Sugar - 200 g. Butter - 30 g. Salt - to taste

For the pastry, separate 2 eggs into white and yolk. We won't need the white. Squeeze 1.5 tbsp of lemon juice and add 3 tbsp of cold water to it, stir. Mix the flour with cold grated butter and turn it into crumbs. Add salt, sugar, baking powder and stir. Add 2 yolks and the lemon water. Knead an elastic dough. Put it in the fridge for 30-40 minutes.

For the filling, peel the apples and cut them into cubes. Add butter, sugar and cinnamon to a preheated frying pan, stir. Add the apples, stir, cover with a lid and simmer for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid and fry until the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Leave to cool.

Take the dough out of the fridge and divide it into 2 unequal parts. Roll out 2/3 of the dough into a sheet. Grease a cast frying pan for baking with oil and transfer the rolled-out dough into it using a rolling pin. Make sides about 3 cm high. Put in the filling and level it. Roll out the second part of the dough and place it over the apple layer. Make small sides about 1 cm high. Put in an oven preheated to 180°C for 40-45 minutes.

For the caramel, pour the cream into a ladle and heat it. Heat the sugar in another ladle. As soon as it starts to melt, stir. When the sugar has completely dissolved, pour in the warm cream, add the butter and salt.

Pour the caramel over the finished hot pie and wait until it thickens.

Enjoy your meal!
