Apple pie

It's apple season. They are in abundance, different varieties, various recipes, different flavours. I love all apple, walnuts and cinnamon based desserts, but prefer this recipe with stuffed and baked apples like tufahija, topped with pandispan, then turned upside down on a plate with whipped cream...

This cake reminds me of my childhood. The recipe is very old, and my mother made it very often. I had a beautiful childhood. On Sundays, we would traditionally gather over a family lunch with soup, main course and a dessert. I had the privilege to grow up in a family with love, tradition, and respect. And everyone knew their place. I had 2 grandmas and 1 grandpa. I am very proud of them, as I am sure they are of me. My parents travelled a lot. My mother worked in an airline company and travelled throughout the world. I inherited the love to travel from my family. Our home was like a museum. Souvenirs were brought over from all over the world, paintings, masks on the walls … We also tried out various cuisines from all over the world.

Apple pie

Ingredients:

1 kg. of apples
150 gr. of ground walnuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pandispan
4 eggs, separately egg whites and yolks
4 tablespoons sugar
2 vanillas
4 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons flour
1 baking powder

Preparation:

First, peel the apples and make a hole in the middle. Fill them with crushed walnuts mixed with cinnamon. Arrange in circle and put one apple in a cake mould. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for about half an hour until the apples get soft, but be careful not to overbake them as they will fall apart. Meanwhile, make the pandispan: Beat 4 egg yolks with the sugar, add the vanilla, oil, water and finally the sifted flour mixed with the baking powder. Whisk the egg whites separately with 1 tablespoon of sugar and then carefully add to the yolk mixture. Pour in the pot of slightly cooled apples and continue baking at 180 C for about half an hour. To check use the toothpick trick. (The dough is pierced with a toothpick, and if the toothpick is dry, the dough is baked) Once baked, leave it to cool and turn it upside down on a plate. Top with whipped cream or whipped egg whites if desired.
