Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a bulk pie with semolina and apples? Start with the test. It is done in no time. Place the butter in the freezer for 20 minutes or a little longer to make it easier to grate and prevent it from melting in your hands.

Step 2

Step 2
Prepare a dry mixture from flour, semolina, sugar and baking powder and mix everything thoroughly so that the baking powder is distributed evenly. Divide the dry mixture into 3 equal parts.

Step 3

Step 3
Now prepare the filling. Take apples that are sweet and sour, juicy, with a bright, pronounced taste. Suitable varieties: Simerinka and Granny Smith. The richer the green skin of the apples, the longer they will not darken. If the apples are not juicy, then take 20-30 g more butter. If the honey is candied, melt it in the microwave or in a water bath and cool.

Step 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 must be at least 1 kg. If your apples begin to darken very quickly, you can sprinkle them with lemon juice.

Step 5

Step 5
Line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment. Grease the parchment and sides of the pan (I have a 20 cm diameter pan) with butter. Pour the first part of the dry dough into the bottom of the pan and smooth it out. Itʼs best to use a one-piece springform pan for this cake because the juices will leak out of the springform pan and drip into your oven. And we need all the juice to be preserved in the pie.

Step 6

Step 6
Spread half of the grated apples evenly on top.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour 1 tbsp over apples. l. liquid honey, sprinkle with ½ tbsp. l. cinnamon, Repeat layers of dough, apples, honey and cinnamon again.

Step 8

Step 8
Sprinkle the top of the pie with the remaining dry mixture and smooth it out. All layers should be approximately the same in thickness.

Step 9

Step 9
Remove the butter from the freezer and grate the top of the dough using a coarse grater. Place the pie in the oven preheated to 180°. Bake at the bottom of the oven for 30 minutes first, then move the pan to the center of the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes. During this time, the butter will melt and flow through all layers of the pie, and the dry mixture of semolina and flour will swell, turning into a full-fledged moist, juicy cake.

Step 10

Step 10
Cool the finished pie, transfer to a plate and cut into pieces. Bon appetit!
