Applepie with marzipan crumbles

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Melt 225 g butter. Grease a springform pan (approx. 26 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Mix 400 g flour, 200 g sugar and 1 pinch of salt. Knead in the liquid butter and egg with the dough hooks of the mixer. Put half of the dough into the form and press it to a flat bottom while lifting up one edge.

2. 2

   Coarsely grate the marzipan. Knead remaining dough with marzipan and 2 tbsp. flour to form crumbles.

3. 3

   Preheat oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Mix 2 tablespoons sugar, vanilla sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Peel ginger and grate finely. Peel, quarter and core apples and slice or cut them into thin slices. Mix cinnamon sugar, ginger and apples.

4. 4

   Place apples in the form on the dough and spread evenly. Sprinkle marzipan crumbles over it. Bake the cake in a hot oven for about 1 hour. After about 45 minutes, cover with baking paper if necessary. Let the finished cake cool down on a cake rack.

5. 5

   For this cake use apples that have a fine acidity and do not fall apart during baking, e.g. Boskop, Cox Orange or Elstar. And you get cream as a nice blob on top! To make it taste fresher, simply stir in some crème fraiche.
