The Delight of Lazy Pie

I always like to eat this lazy pie because it is not very high in calories, making it a delightful indulgence without the guilt that often accompanies dessert. The unique combination of flavors and textures in this pie is truly remarkable. The juiciness is even greater when it is filled with apples that have been generously sprinkled with sugar and mixed with crunchy walnuts. This creates a wonderful contrast between the soft, tender cake and the satisfying crunch of the nuts, making each bite an experience to savor.

The cake itself is incredibly soft, almost melting in your mouth, and the taste is nothing short of fantastic and delicious. Each slice offers a perfect balance of sweetness from the apples and sugar, combined with the rich, earthy flavor of the walnuts, which adds depth to the overall flavor profile.

Everyone who tries this pie is consistently satisfied, often asking for seconds or even thirds. The joy it brings to family gatherings and casual get-togethers is immeasurable, as it has a way of bringing people together over a shared love for good food.

This lazy pie is not just any dessert; it is steeped in tradition, being an old recipe passed down from my grandmother. Her original method has been lovingly preserved, and we follow the recipe closely to ensure that the flavors remain true to her vision. The process of making this pie is filled with nostalgia, as my mum and I reminisce about the times spent in the kitchen with my grandmother, learning the secrets of her baking techniques.

As we gather the ingredients—fresh apples, sugar, walnuts, and the essential cake mix—we can almost hear her voice guiding us through each step. The preparation is straightforward, which is part of what makes this dessert so appealing. It allows us to enjoy the act of baking without feeling overwhelmed, making it accessible for bakers of all skill levels.

After mixing the ingredients and pouring the batter into the baking dish, we eagerly await the moment when the pie emerges from the oven, filling the kitchen with its warm, inviting aroma. The anticipation builds as we watch it rise and turn a beautiful golden brown, signaling that it is almost time to indulge in a slice of this beloved dessert.

Ingredients: simple,total time: 75 min.

Dough:

Fill:

1 kg of apples/ grated
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 vanilla sugar/ 10 g
Cinnamon to taste / optional
Add lemon only if the apples are sweet; if they are sour, add only sugar to taste
1 bag vanilla sugar/ 10 g, to sprinkle the dough before baking at 180 °C, 45 min. Grease a baking sheet with margarine or butter and a little flour

For Sprinkle:

Preparation:

Dough:

Combine the flour and baking powder in a single dish and mix thoroughly.
In a large plastic bowl, cream the margarine until it becomes frothy. Add the egg, vanilla sugar, and plain sugar, then incorporate the milk and one teaspoon of lemon zest. Finally, add the flour and mix until a thick dough forms. Knead the dough by hand until smooth, then divide it into two portions.
Roll out the first portion of the dough with a rolling pin and place it directly onto a greased baking sheet, ensuring the corners are aligned and filled using your hands.
Once this is completed, proceed to prepare the filling.

Filling:

In a deep pot, combine the grated apples, sugar, and vanilla sugar, stirring until a cohesive filling mixture is achieved. Cook for 20 minutes. Allow the filling to cool slightly before spreading it evenly over the dough, ensuring the corners of the pan are fully covered. Evenly sprinkle the ground walnuts over the filling.

Layering lazy pie:

Begin by taking a sheet of baking paper and measuring it to fit the size of the casserole dish.
Roll out the second portion of dough using a rolling pin, then carefully place it over the filling, ensuring the corners are well-covered. Use a knife to neatly connect the edges, and gently press with your hands if necessary. Once the edges are properly sealed, pierce the dough lightly with a fork every 2-3 cm. Sprinkle with a packet of vanilla sugar. Bake at 180°C for 30–40 minutes, and use a toothpick to check if the dough is fully cooked.

Buon appetito!

NOTE:

I choose not to use powdered sugar, as the sweetness and appearance are sufficient for my taste. This recipe is exceptional, and I consistently prepare lazy apple pie in this manner. The most challenging aspect of this process is folding the dough into the filling, although experienced cooks will find this manageable. Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serving the pie. I hope you enjoy my recipe.
Keep the stake at room temperature for about 4-5 days, covered with nylon foil.
