Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Cold water
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1.5 kilograms Apples
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 50 grams Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Beat the egg and mix in with the flour-butter mixture. Add in the tablespoon of cold water, mixing just until the dough forms a ball. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice in a large bowl.

Step 6

Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and cornstarch to the apples, and mix well to ensure even coating.

Step 7

Take two-thirds of the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to fit the bottom and sides of the springform pan. Press the dough into the pan and up the sides.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the bottom crust to prevent a soggy dough.

Step 9

Layer the apple filling over the breadcrumbs, pressing down slightly.

Step 10

Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips for a lattice topping. Arrange the strips over the filling in a crisscross pattern.

Step 11

Bake the appeltaart in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool in the pan for a few minutes before releasing the sides of the springform. Serve warm or at room temperature.
