Mannik on kefir with apples

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake a mannikin with apples? Measure out the necessary ingredients, while using a glass with a capacity of 250 ml. Take out the butter in advance so that it softens at room temperature. Kefir should not be cold either. The number of apples depends on the diameter of the pie, you will need 3-5 medium fruits.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour the semolina with kefir, mix well. Leave for 1 hour to allow the cereal to swell.

3. Step 3:

   

   Carefully divide the eggs into whites and yolks.

4. Step 4:

   

   Combine sugar, yolks and soft butter in a convenient bowl.

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix everything with a whisk until smooth and the sugar dissolves.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put semolina soaked in kefir into the resulting mass, mix.

7. Step 7:

   

   Whisk the whites with salt first at the minimum speed of the mixer until soft peaks. Then increase the speed and whisk until a dense, stable protein foam forms.

8. Step 8:

   

   Add baking powder and vanilla to the dough, mix.

    Using a spatula, gently stir the proteins into the dough from the bottom up.

    The dough turns out to be runny and fluffy due to the airiness of the whipped proteins.

12. Step 11:

    

    Wash the apples, dry them well, and remove the seeds. If desired, the skin can also be cut off. Cut half of the apples into slices or cubes.

13. Step 12:

    

    Grease the mold with oil. Lay out the dough carefully. Spread the sliced apples on top. During baking, the dough will rise significantly, and the apples will be inside the pie. Why not mix the apples into the dough right away? In order not to disrupt the lush structure of the dough.

14. Step 13:

    

    Bake the mannikin in a preheated 180C oven for about 25 minutes. During this time, it is better not to open the oven so that the pie does not settle. When the surface of the pie visibly seizes and a visible crust appears, carefully remove the mold from the oven. Put the remaining sliced apples on the pie. Put the mold back in the oven.

15. Step 14:

    

    Bake the mannikin until cooked for about 25 minutes more. I used the form d=18 cm. You can take d = 22 cm, then the pie will be smaller in height. Depending on this, the baking time will also be reduced. Let the finished cake cool and remove from the mold.
