Breton Apple Pie

Breton pie is a representative of classic French cuisine. The famous Breton pie appeared in the XVIII century in the north-western region of France, Brittany. It was made from buckwheat flour and served with meat. Over time, the pie was modified and many different recipes appeared. I want to share one of them with you today.
Breton apple pie tastes somewhat like an ordinary cupcake, and cranberries and apples give the pie an aroma and a pleasant sweet and sour taste.
To prepare the pie dough, you need to take the amount of butter required by the recipe, add sugar to it, rub with a fork and beat with a mixer for 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and mix well.
Add the egg and the yolks separated from the eggs to the resulting mass. Again, beat everything with a mixer. This pie is good to cook in the case when egg yolks remain after cooking another dish. And the product will not have to be thrown away and a quick delicious dessert can be prepared.
Then sift the flour and add it to the bowl. Now carefully knead the dough with a spoon. It should be homogeneous. The dough is ready.
Let's move on to the filling. If you use frozen cranberries, then you do not need to defrost them. They can ruin the color of the cake. Add cranberries to the resulting dough, mix gently so that the berries evenly disperse over the dough and remain whole. To make this cake, cranberries can be replaced with any sour berries, lingonberries or cherries. In the case of cherries, if it is fresh, then carefully remove the seeds, if frozen, then, as in the case of cranberries, it is better not to defrost.
For baking, we will need a mold with a diameter of 20 cm. You can not lubricate it with anything - the dough should not stick because of a sufficient amount of butter.
Spread the dough into the mold and smooth the top. After that, we put the cake form in the refrigerator for an hour and a half.
While the pie is cooling, peel the apples from the peel and seeds and cut into slices.
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
When the pie has cooled, we take it out and spread the apples on the dough in slices, slightly deepening the pieces into the dough.
Bake at 180 degrees for about 45 minutes. Apples should be browned but not burned, so we check the pie during baking.
The finished cake is cooled in the mold for 10 minutes. After we take it out on a platter and let it cool down. The finished cake is sprinkled with sifted powdered sugar before serving.
Breton apple pie is ready.
