Bulk pie with apples

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a bulk pie with apples in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Apples in this pie are better suited to sour varieties, the dough is quite sweet. If the apples are sweet, reduce the amount of sugar. I advise you to put the butter in the freezer for a while, it will be easier to grate it.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a bowl, pour sifted flour, salt and baking powder into it. Mix well. Add semolina, sugar and cinnamon. You can learn how to choose semolina and what are the features of baking powder, and how to replace it from articles on these topics. You will find a link to them at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Using a whisk, stir the dry mixture until smooth. This is our dough.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the apples in running water, dry, remove the skin, and remove the stems. Cut the apples in half and remove the core.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grate the apples on a coarse grater. They immediately begin to darken. Sprinkle them with lemon juice and stir. The juice will stop the oxidation process. The filling is ready.

6. STEP 6

   

   Let's start assembling the pie. I baked it in a springform pan. Be sure to line the bottom with baking paper. Grate butter (40 grams) on a coarse grater and distribute evenly over the bottom of the pan.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour a layer of dry mixture onto the oil, about a quarter of the total volume. Use a spoon to spread it evenly.

8. STEP 8

   

   Next, add a layer of apples. A third of the total. Use a spoon to smooth it out.

9. STEP 9

   

   Next, repeat the layers - second dry layer, second layer of apples, third dry layer, third layer of apples.

10. STEP 10

    

    The fourth layer, the last one, turns out dry. Grate the remaining butter on top. Distribute it evenly over the surface.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for about one hour. Your time and temperature may be different. Read more about how to choose the right baking time and temperature in the article, the link is at the end of the recipe. When the time is up, turn off the heat, but do not remove the cake, but leave it to cool in the oven. Serve the bulk pie with apples and semolina slightly warm or cold. Bon appetit!

Very tender and juicy baked goods. I found another version of a bulk pie with cottage cheese, which will also be interesting.

I took the recipe for “bulk pie with apples” as a basis and made a bulk pie with red currants. I took the berries from the freezer, already peeled from the branches. Mixed with sugar and starch so that the filling did not flow. I didn't defrost the berries. I made the dough as described in the recipe. I poured the dough crumbs into the mold, put the filling and poured the dough crumbs. I baked the cake for half an hour. Great recipe! No fiddling with the dough, grind everything into crumbs and pour into the mold. The perfect quick pie for home gatherings. My pie came out juicy, tender, appetizing, with crispy dough and sweet and sour filling. Delicious! Many thanks to the author)

I have made bulk pie with apples many times. I really like this delicious and aromatic pastry. I didn't change much in this recipe. I took 700 g of peeled apples, which is slightly less than in the recipe. I also didn’t use cinnamon; vanilla was enough for flavoring. I did not add lemon juice to the grated apples, because... They were already sour. The pie turned out great. The “dough” was baked well, the apples imparted juiciness to the cakes. A crispy crust formed on top. The apple pie was delicious served warm with ice cream. But after cooling in the refrigerator, the pie thickened and did not crumble at all. I recommend this delicious apple pastry to everyone!
