Apple Pie (10)

 Ingredients: Filling: -10 grated apples - 100 g butter or margarine - sugar to taste - powdered cinnamon to taste -1 packet (420g) crumbled Petit Beurre biscuits - toasted nut, to taste, optional Batter: -5 eggs -5 tablespoons powdered sugar -5 tablespoons flour or 2 sachets vanilla pudding powder (lemon) or 3 tablespoons flour + 2 tablespoons starch -1/2 packet baking powder

To prepare a delicious apple and biscuit cake, start by preparing the tray. Choose a large baking tray and grease it with a generous layer of butter or margarine, ensuring that the entire surface is evenly covered. This step is essential to prevent the cake from sticking and to achieve a crispy texture on the outside. After greasing the tray, take the biscuits and crumble them until you achieve a grainy consistency, similar to breadcrumbs. Evenly sprinkle the crumbled biscuits on the bottom of the tray, creating a layer about an inch high.

Once you have prepared the base, move on to the apples. Choose fresh apples, preferably a sweet and sour variety, to add a pleasant contrast. Peel the apples, then grate them and squeeze them gently to remove excess juice, which could make the mixture too wet. Distribute the grated apples evenly over the layer of biscuits, ensuring they are well covered. Then, sprinkle a mixture of sugar and powdered cinnamon, adjusting the amount according to personal preferences. This mixture will give the cake an inviting aroma and a delicious flavor.

Now, let’s take care of the batter. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until you achieve a stiff, glossy foam, which will give the layers an airy texture. If you prefer, you can use whole eggs, mixing them together with the sugar until the mixture triples in volume. This will be the soufflé base of the cake. Gradually add the sifted flour along with the baking powder or pudding powder (flour mixed with starch), making sure to incorporate the ingredients gently, using folding motions from the bottom up with a spatula.

If you want an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle roasted nut pieces on top, which will add a crunchy texture and rich aroma. Once the mixture is well combined, pour it over the apples and biscuits in the tray. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature and place the tray inside, allowing the cake to bake until the top is golden and firm to the touch, and the aroma spreads throughout the kitchen.

After the cake is baked, let it cool in the tray, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. Slice the cake and enjoy it with your loved ones, savoring each delicious bite! This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your family.
