Apple pie with sour cream filling

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare food.

2. STEP 2

   

   Chop the apples not very finely, but not too large either. There is no need to peel the peel.

3. STEP 3

   

   Simmer the apples a little: Place the butter in a cold frying pan, turn on medium heat. Place the apples in the melted butter, add 2 tbsp. sugar, raisins, who likes it - cinnamon./The amount of sugar depends on the acidity of the apples - try it! Measure sugar from the total amount./Stir well and heat until almost complete evaporation of moisture, but no more. No need to caramelize. Let cool.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare the dough: Lightly beat the eggs with salt with a mixer /at low speed/.

5. STEP 5

   

   Continuing to beat, add vanillin.

6. STEP 6

   

   Increase the speed to the maximum and gradually add all the sugar./Don’t forget to set aside 1.5 tbsp. sugar for filling./

7. STEP 7

   

   Add orange liqueur / The alcohol will evaporate, only the aroma will remain, so it will not harm children. For those who cannot drink alcohol, at your discretion, the ingredient can be omitted./Beat everything very well until it becomes a white fluffy mass, the rise of the dough will depend on this.

8. STEP 8

   

   Gradually, in 2-3 additions, carefully stir in the sifted flour.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add 1 tbsp to the dough. with a heap of sour cream of any fat content and thickness, leave the rest for filling.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add fresh zest or, like mine, dry zest.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add cooled apples and raisins to the dough. Gently fold them into the dough in 3-4 additions, moving from top to bottom.

12. STEP 12

    

    Grease the mold with butter, sprinkle a little sugar and fill with dough. Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes until the top is golden brown. Then get it...

13. STEP 13

    

    Mix the remaining sour cream and sugar just before you need to take out the pie. This is not a classic sour cream filling, but nothing more is needed. Sour cream will make the top soft and tender and prevent the crust from burning.

14. STEP 14

    

    Carefully remove the pie, brush it with sour cream filling as quickly as possible and return it to the oven for another 30 minutes until done. Everyone’s oven capabilities are different, but you need to keep in mind that the apples were wet, so it will take a little longer to cook than a regular charlotte.

15. STEP 15

    

    I prepared it in different sized pans; in a smaller pan the cake is simply taller, but also bake for about 1 hour.

16. STEP 16

    

    Hold the finished pie for 5 minutes in the switched off oven with the door ajar. Take it out and let it cool in the mold, covering it with a napkin. Then it will be easy to take out and it will definitely delight you with its taste and wonderful aroma. Bon appetit !

Thank you for participating in the Best Recipe of the Week competition. Author, look how your photo turned out after a little processing in Photoshop. I just a little added brightness, richness and saturation, which were lost during the shooting process. Even the most unattractive dishes can be straightened out by adding a little color to them. Our cameras are not perfect (unless they are super-expensive models with a lot of bells and whistles, strong and extremely accurate lenses). And red apples often look dull in a photograph, not to mention other objects. Therefore, if you see that the photo on the screen is a little dim, feel free to correct it in graphic editors.

Thank you Maria, I learned a lot from your articles and advice. The benefits are enormous; I can now clearly distinguish where Photoshop is and how the author uses it. I’m still just in the process, I’m always glad to see your comment. Good luck to you !

I made this pie yesterday, it became a little cooler and I immediately wanted to bake something, either a pie or pancakes. I poured sour cream into the pie all at once, I didn’t pour it in, maybe that’s why it got “smoky.” But yesterday, with my sister-in-law, we drank some tea to our hearts’ content.
