Apple strudel

Servings 10 persons

Ingredients
  

Strudel dough

  • 250 g Flour
  • 2 g Salt
  • 20 g Oil
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 100 ml Water

Dough preparation

  • 10 ml Oil
  • 100 g Butter

Sprinkles

  • 100 g Breadcrumbs
  • 20 g Butter
  • 20 g Sugar

Filling

  • 100 g Raisins
  • 1 kg Apples
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 75 g Walnuts
  • 50 g Hazelnuts
  • 10 g Cinnamon powder
  • 200 ml Sour cream

Finishing

  • 50 g Icing sugar
  • 1 dl Whipped cream

Instructions
 

Dough

  • First make the dough. Combine all the ingredients and knead into a fairly soft, elastic dough. Shape the dough into a ball, place it on a baking sheet and brush it with oil to prevent it from hardening and let it rest for 30 to 45 minutes.

Sprinkles

  • Melt the butter, add the sugar and breadcrumbs and toast everything briefly.

Filling

  • Peel the apples and remove the core. Cut them into not too small pieces. Put them in a large bowl and add all the other ingredients. Mix everything together until fluffy.

Finishing

  • Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured cloth of about 70 by 70 cm. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about 30 by 30 cm. Use enough flour to prevent sticking. Then stretch the dough sheet very thinly to a size of about 65 by 65 cm. Use the backs of your hands to prevent your fingers from tearing the dough.
  • Brush the dough sheet with half of the melted butter. Sprinkle the edge, about 20 cm, that is closest to you with the sprinkles. Place the apple filling on top of this. Roll the dough upwards with the help of the cloth. Place the dough on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Bake the strudel for 45 to 60 minutes. Brush the dough with melted butter every 15 minutes.
  • Allow to cool briefly, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve warm, possibly with whipped cream or crème anglaise.

Apple pie

Recipy Holtkamp
Course Pastry
Cuisine Français
Servings 8 pax

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 125 g butter
  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 3 g salt
  • 0,5 pieces eggs
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 250 g Pastry flour
  • 10 g Baking powder

Appareil

  • 100 g Sugar
  • 60 g Butter melted
  • 30 g Cornstarch
  • 2 pieces Eggs
  • 2 pieces Egg yolks
  • 1 pieces Vanilla pod

Bottom

  • 150 g Almond paste

Gel

  • 150 g Apricot jam
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 kg Apples Jonagold

Instructions
 

Dough

  • First mix the sugar and the butter thoroughly, using your hands. Then add the egg, pastry flour, baking powder and salt. Knead into a nice smooth dough, add some water if necessary. Do not knead too long, otherwise it will be too elastic.
  • Make a roll out of the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Appareil

  • Mix the eggs, egg yolk and sugar together. Add melted butter, the seeds from the vanilla pod, and lastly, add the cornstarch. The eggs allow the mixture to bind together, the cornstarch helps this process. Mix until the sauce is smooth.

Forming the cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Get the dough out of the refrigerator. Knead until it is smooth again. Then roll it to shape a round slab which is a couple of centimeters larger than the ring. Butter the ring and place the dough in. Make sure to cover the sides of the ring with the dough as well.
  • Roll the almond paste to shape a round slab, the same size as the bottom of the ring. Place on top of the dough. The paste ensures a dry soil, so that the moisture of the apples and the sauce does not penetrate the paste.
  • Peel the apples, drill with an apple drill and cut into cubic blocks of 0,5 × 0,5 cm. Put them in the ring, on a spherical pile.
  • Pour the appareil over the apples with a spoon. Make sure that all the apples are covered.
  • Place the cake in the oven and check whether the baking is not too fast. The apples will become darker, but shouldn't be too dark. If this happens, turn the oven to a lower temperature or place the cake a bit lower in the oven.
  • Bake for approximately 90 minutes. Check after 60 minutes the color. If it's dark already, lower the temperature.
  • After baking, allow the cake to cool down. Heat the apricot jam and water in a small pan with a thick bottom. Gently brush the liquid over the cake. Serve when the cake is fully cooled down.
