Apple pie (from dry ingredients)

I'm not posting, I know, I know. But honestly, I don't have a camera, and I think recipes without photos simply don't work. Also, when B. left to Washington I stopped cooking, like, completely. BUT this recipe was requested by so many that I decided to translate it for you guys.

Apple pie (from dry ingredients)

1 cup flour (1 cup = app. 0,25 kg)
1 cup semolina
1 cup sugar
1,5 teaspoon baking powder

0,25 kg unsalted butter (chilled)

5 big apples
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Spread some butter over the baking tray or use baking paper.

My round baking tray is not tight enough, and I always have some butter leaking on the bottom of my oven, so I stopped using it, and instead, I use a glass baking bowl (25 cm). That's why I can't use baking paper. This bowl actually looks pretty nice up until the point when you have your pie ready and you need to get the first piece out of it. If you decide to bake it in a bowl, you will probably need my husband with his incredible skills - he always manages to get the first (hot and crumbling!) piece out without ruining it.

Back to the recipe:

Take 1/3 of this mixture and spread it on the bottom of your baking tray . Then take 1/2 of the grated apples and cover the first layer of dry mix with apples. Add cinnamon on top of the apple layer. Then spread the next dry layer (1/2 of the remaining mixture). Then next apple layer, and, at the end, the last dry layer.

When you finish with that, cut your butter cube into very thin slices and cover the upper layer with them. You can add some cinnamon on top of that.

And this is pretty much it. Bake it in 180 C for 45 minutes. And enjoy!

It tastes best when hot with vanilla ice cream, though double cream will do if you don't have ice creams.
