Mountain apple pie is a quick and tasty dessert, perfect for delighting the taste buds of family or friends. This recipe combines the intense flavors of caramelized apples with a light and healthy dough, rich in fiber thanks to the oat flakes. By following the steps below, you will achieve a delicious pie that will surely become a favorite on your menu.

Ingredients:
- 1 kg apples
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons fructose (or sugar, to taste)
- 100 g butter
- 2 cups bran
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 packet yeast
- 1 cup hot water

Preparing the dough:
1. In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of whole wheat flour with the 2 cups of bran. This mixture will give the pie a unique texture and rich flavor.
2. Add the yeast and mix well. It is important to use fresh yeast to ensure proper rising.
3. In another container, melt 50 g of butter and let it cool slightly. Then, add it to the bowl with flour.
4. Gradually pour in the hot water, stirring continuously until you obtain a homogeneous dough. The dough will be easy to shape but not too sticky.
5. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Preparing the filling:
6. Meanwhile, peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. Tart apples, such as Granny Smith, are ideal for this recipe as they will contrast perfectly with the sweetness of the fructose.
7. In a large skillet, melt 100 g of butter over medium heat. Add the apples and cinnamon, stirring frequently.
8. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of fructose over the apples in the skillet and continue to cook until the apples become soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. This process will add a deep and delicious flavor to your filling.

Assembling the pie:
9. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
10. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out the first part on a floured surface until you get a thin sheet. Place the dough sheet in a greased baking dish.
11. Pour the caramelized apple filling over the dough, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
12. Roll out the second part of the dough similarly and place it over the filling. You can decorate the surface with a few cross cuts to allow steam to escape during baking.
13. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until it becomes golden and crispy.

Serving and suggestions:
14. Let the pie cool slightly before slicing. It is delicious both warm and cold, and pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
15. If you want to add a personal twist, you can add chopped nuts or raisins to the apple filling for extra texture.

This mountain apple pie is a simple and healthy recipe that will bring a touch of warmth to chilly days. Take advantage of apple season and prepare this delicious dessert to delight your family and friends!
