Apple Pie
It's apple pie time! (Alright, right, I know I sound like I'm doing nothing else beside cooking and baking XD) but hey! I do what I do best ;)
Now that autumn is right behind my door, I enjoy buying seasonal vegetables and fruits even more! This recipe is from my mom and since I haven't eaten it for a long while, I was longing for it. I only made half of the recipe and still I got 2 tarts!
The dough is awesome; it's coming a little close to puff pastry while at the same time being something completely different. (Now that sounds confusing but I guess you must taste first to understand what I mean - haha ^^;)
It is made of flour, butter and something I know does not exist in several countries: Quark. (therefore I dunno about English translation...)
The amount is the same for every ingredient; I took 125g of everything (and as you can see you will get a lot!)
What you need:
* 125g flour
* 125g butter
* 125g quark
* 2 eggs
* 2 tablespoons of sugar
* 150ml cream (low-fat cream is fine too)
* 3 sour apples
Cut the butter into cubes and make sure it is soft, but not melted. Add it to the flour and mix it with a fork. Add the quark and knead it well, add more flour if necessary. Put it away in the fridge for 2 hours.
Roll out the dough and put it into a flat, buttered baking mould. (You should use one that's designed for tarts!)
Peel the apples, remove the insides (bwaha, that sounds bloody!) and cut it into thin slices. Fill the still empty tart logically! with all the slices.
With a whisk, blend the eggs, the sugar and the cream, then pour it over the apples.
Bake 40-50 minutes. The oven should be hot (200°C).
You better worship my mom's recipe! 8D
