- 100 ml sour cream (over 20% fat)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 100 ml creamy yogurt
- 2-3 tablespoons of water
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 1 egg
- 50 g fresh yeast
For the apple filling:
- 1 kg grated apples
- 50 g raisins
- 100 g walnuts
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar

- 1 egg (to brush the pie)

Making the Apple Pie
Step 1: Baking the Walnuts
We start with an important step that will enhance the flavors of the pie. Set the Philips Multicooker to the BAKE function at 150 degrees Celsius and let the walnuts bake for 20 minutes. This step will give the walnuts a more pleasant and richer taste.
Step 2: Preparing the Dough
While the walnuts are baking, we prepare the dough. Sift 400 g of flour into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the crumbled yeast and the 2-3 tablespoons of water, allowing the mixture to rise for about 10 minutes. This waiting time is essential for the yeast to activate.
After the time has passed, add the sugar, egg, sour cream, and yogurt (all at room temperature). Using the 2 tablespoons of oil, begin kneading the dough until it becomes elastic and smooth. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume.
Step 3: Preparing the Apples
In the meantime, we take care of the apples. Peel the apples and grate them, then place them in a sieve to let their juice drain. Mix the grated apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and zest, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4: Assembling the Pie
Once the dough has risen, we prepare to roll it out. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a not-too-thick sheet. Add the grated apple mixture, baked walnuts, and raisins, evenly distributing the mixture.
Roll the sheet tightly into a cylinder, which we then coil into a spiral shape. Place the pie in the greased pan, making sure it looks as appetizing as possible.
Step 5: Preparing for Baking
Beat the egg with the yogurt and mix well, then brush the pie with this mixture. It is now ready for baking. Set the Philips Multicooker to the BAKE function at 180 degrees Celsius and the baking time to 50 minutes.
Step 6: Cooling and Serving
After the time has elapsed, gently lift the lid to let the steam escape. Let the pie cool gradually in the pan, which will help maintain its flaky texture. Once the pie has completely cooled, it is ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
For an even more delicious experience, you can serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. A cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to savor each slice.
Possible Variations
If you want to add a personal touch to the recipe, you can experiment with different types of nuts (almonds or hazelnuts) or substitute the apples with pears for an equally delicious version. You can also add some chocolate chips for a more decadent taste.
