What is better on a gray and rainy day than a house filled with the tempting fragrance of freshly baked Apple pie - I thought and set work on realizing my idea. It worked out, lifted all the spirits. Therefore I gladly pass on the recipe for this comforter to help all of you who are facing a long and hard winter (por supuesto también se pueden disfrutar después de un asadito o en el hipico ;-) ).

150 g sugar

All the ingredients should be at room temperature when preparing the dough.

Peel and core the apples. Cut them into small pieces. You should have app. 800 g after cleaning them. Mix with the juice of 1 lemon.

Mix egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar and beat until white. Then add the softened butter and continue stirring. Beat the egg whites. Sift the flour and mix with the baking powder and a pinch of salt.

Add the calvados and the lemon peel to the butter mixture and half of the egg whites and mix carefully. Then add the flour and the rest of the egg white and work in gently.

Grease and dust a springform tin of 26 cm. Fill in the dough and pour the apples ontop. Bake on the middle rack for app. 40 minutes.

Take the cake out of the oven and pour the hazelnut mixture and then the melted butter evenly onto the cake. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes and let cool on a rack.
