  • I am a big fan of cake and Italian dough, and I have been making their specialties for years, here is one of my specialties, a delicious dessert with apple and walnut cream. It tastes fantastic, and the dough is really crispy and soft, and the snacks are eaten with pleasure. Be sure to make it because the recipe is great!

Ingredients: mold 28 cm ( 25 cm width of the bottom of the tray with sides is 28 cm), very easy /standing dough 40 min/cooking time : 80 min/total time: 120 min.

Shortcrust pastry:

  • 530 g of flour 00+ 1 Tbsp for the work surface

  • 4 apple

  • 1 lemon juice

  • 260 g of walnuts/ ground

  • 3 Tbsp sugar

For Sprinkle:

  • 1 scrambled egg for coating before baking

  • powdered sugar

Preparation Dough:
  1. Pour the butter and sugar into a deep plastic bowl, beat well with a mixer until the mixture becomes compact, add eggs, yolk, a pinch of salt, grated lemon peel, vanilla extract and mix again.

  2. After that, put the mixer attachment for a stronger dough on the mixer. Gradually add flour mixed with baking powder, stir until the mixture becomes compact, and then proceed to mix with your hands on the floured surface of the worktop.

  3. The dough must be compactly even and smooth.

  4. Then make a ball of dough and wrap it in nylon foil and let it stand for 40 minutes in the fridge.

  5. During that time, prepare Apple walnuts dressing.

Apple Walnuts Dressing:

  1. During this time, wash and peel the apples and remove the seeds.

  2. Grate the apples and pour lemon juice over them and mix well.

  3. Pour apples into a deep pot. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla sugar (if the apples are sweet, add 2 full tablespoons of sugar, I have used green apples). Pour the walnuts when the cream becomes thicker and the liquid disappears, mix well mixture and cook for 5 minutes more.

  4. Do everything over a moderate heat, stirring occasionally.

  5. Allow the cream to cool for 30 minutes.

Processing:

  1. Take a round mold of 28 cm and grease it with butter and flour, evenly shake the flour throughout the mold.

  2. Take the dough out of the fridge and place the baked paper on the bottom, place the dough and over the dough put another baked paper. With the help of a rolling pin roll out the dough to a thickness of 7-8 mm.

  3. Remove the top of the baking paper, and turn the dough together with the paper and transfer it to the mold.

  4. Shape the dough over the baked paper, when you have done, remove the baked paper from a from the top dough.

  5. Remove the excess dough from the edges, and with the help of a fork, knead the dough in several places.

  6. Pour ready cold cream of apples with walnuts over the dough and flatten well.

  7. From the rest of the dough, make a ball again, develop it with a rolling pin to cut strips up to 1-1.5 cm thick.

  8. Arrange the strips diagonally, as well as the second row, one over the other.

  9. When the cake is ready, preheat the oven to 180 °C, and during that time, if you want, you can coat the strips with 1 scrambled egg with the help of a brush. I do it regularly, it will give beautiful color.

  10. Bake the cake in oven fan for 25–30 minutes at 180 °C.

  11. From time to time, turn the cake while it is baking.

  12. Cake must have to get a nice golden yellow-brown color.

  13. When the cake is done, turn off the oven, leave it to cool with the door open.

  14. When the cake has cooled, finally, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Buon appetito!
