Hello! I still continued the season of apples, so today I again bake a cake with apples ...
Ingredients for cooking:
For the dough:
Milk - 250 ml
Butter - 250 g
Yeast dry - 2 hours. l.
Sugar - 4 tbsp. l.
Salt - 1/2 hours. l.
Flour - 600 g
For filling:
Apples, only apples - 5-6 pieces.
And maybe a little sugar
We start with the dough. In a bowl, pour warm milk, put the yeast, sugar, stir, and for some time left in peace. The yeast should be activated, and formed on the surface "yeast cap".
At this time, we take another bowl, much larger - will knead the dough in it. Sift the flour into it, add salt, put the softened butter ...
... and rub the hands into crumbs.
Pouring approached yeast mixture.
Knead a soft dough. I'm ready for this recipe dough and cakes, and pies - so, if you comply with all the proportions of the ingredients, pour more flour you do not need. Now, tighten the bowl with the dough with cling film or a cover with a lid and put 1 hour in the fridge... Yes, it is in the refrigerator!
In the meantime, take the apples and cleanse them from the skin, remove core with seeds and finely chop... In the future, the apples will be extinguished, and the finely chopped cooked quickly - although the special role of the size of cut is not playing.
Now cut the apples must be put out to tender. I'm for it, take the pan, put on the most basic fire laid in her apples, close the lid, and the carcass somewhere about 10 minutes, without even opening the cover - do not add anything, nor oil, nor water, apples stewed in its own juice. After 10 minutes, open the lid, try apples, if you do not have enough sweetness, add a little sugar. Stewed apples I shift into a bowl and cools.
An hour has passed. We get the dough from the refrigerator... You see how it rose?
From this amount of dough can be baked a big cake. But I divided the dough in half - baked a cake for herself and one for her mother in law. And, you can make two cakes with different fillings - such as cheese. Divided piece of dough is rolled out to a layer having a thickness of 0.5-0.6 cm, and tried to give a square shape. If so you can not, roll out first round the reservoir and has a knife cut off the edges - making the square.
Now... Visually, "approximately", divide the square into 4 pieces, and, as it were cut out of this square is another square on the angle, but only in the middle of the cuts should not come into contact. On each side, where the incision is made, we continue to make the same cuts, making the strip - equal number on each side. Further, on an untouched square lay out apple filling.
Cover the apples a second square and the edges tightly zaschipyvaem, you can even walk teeth fork.
Impose top strip of dough - alternately, one on each side. The ends can bend under the pie or all of the same fork to make tucks. Similarly, do the second cake.
We shift the pan, the laid parchment paper. And, if you want the top of the cake was covered with a shiny golden brown, then lubricate the beaten egg yolk - I excluded this point.
Pie baked in the oven for half an hour at 180 degrees.
