Delicate Apple Pie from the 1894 Recipe Year — a True Culinary Wonder

The Ukrainian edition of GORDON advises making an apple pie that will taste good with tea. The recipe was shared on the site "Delicious Home-Cooked Recipes".

The recipe description notes that it has been known since 1894 year.

“The pie turns out soft and juicy inside with an appealing golden crust. As it bakes, the kitchen fills with an incredible aroma of apples and vanilla,” the authors noted.

Ingredients:

three to four medium apples;

three eggs;

150 g sugar;

100 g butter;

180 g all-purpose flour;

1 tsp baking powder;

a pinch of salt;

1 tsp vanilla sugar;

½–1 tsp cinnamon;

a little powdered sugar for serving.

Preparation

Wash the apples, remove the core, and cut into thin slices. If desired, you can leave the skin on.

Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the melted, but not hot, butter and mix.

Sift the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gradually add to the egg mixture. Stir until smooth.

Grease a baking pan with butter. Spread about half of the batter, distribute the apples on top, and sprinkle them with cinnamon. Pour the remaining batter over. A few slices of apple can be left for decoration on top.

Put the pie in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 35–45 minutes. Check doneness with a wooden skewer—it should come out dry. Let the pie cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar.

This pie tastes especially good warm with a cup of tea or coffee.
