Bulk pie with semolina and apples

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a bulk pie with semolina and apples? Start with the test. It is done in two counts. Put the butter in the freezer for 20 minutes or a little longer so that it is easier to grate it and it does not melt in your hands.

2. Step 2:

   

   From flour, semolina, sugar and baking powder, prepare a dry mixture and mix everything thoroughly so that the baking powder spreads evenly. Divide the dry mixture into 3 equal parts.

3. Step 3:

   

   Now prepare the filling. Take the apples sweet and sour, juicy, with a pronounced taste. Simerinka and Granny Smith varieties are suitable. The more saturated the green peel of apples, the longer they will not darken. If the apples are not creamy, then take 20-30 g more butter. If the honey is candied, melt it in the microwave or in a water bath and cool it.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash the apples, peel them, remove the core, and quickly grate the pulp on a coarse grater. The net weight of grated apples should be at least 1 kg. If your apples start to darken very quickly, you can sprinkle them with lemon juice.

5. Step 5:

   

   Line the bottom of the baking dish with parchment. Lubricate the parchment and the sides of the mold (I have a mold diameter of 20 cm)butter. Pour the first part of the dry dough onto the bottom of the mold and smooth it out. For this pie, it is better to use an integral one-piece mold, because the juice will leak out of the split mold and drip into your oven. And we need all the juice to be preserved in the pie.

7. Step 6:

   

   Spread half of the grated apples evenly on top.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour 1 tablespoon of liquid honey over the apples, sprinkle with ½ tablespoon of cinnamon, repeat the layers of dough, apples, honey and cinnamon again.

9. Step 8:

   

   Sprinkle the top of the cake with the remaining dry mixture and smooth it out. All layers should be approximately the same thickness.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the butter from the freezer and rub it on top of the dough on a coarse grater. Put the pie in the oven, preheated to 180 °. First bake for 30 minutes at the bottom of the oven, then move the mold to the center of the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes. During this time, the butter will melt and flow through all the layers of the pie, and the dry mixture of semolina and flour will swell, turning into a full-fledged moist juicy cake.

11. Step 10:

    

    Cool the finished cake, transfer to a dish and cut into pieces. Enjoy your meal!
