250 g all-purpose flour (125 g cake flour and 125 g bread flour)
150 g butter, cut into smaller pieces
1 egg yolk
1 splash milk
30 g sugar
3 tablespoons cranberry jam, or
3 tablespoons rose-hip jam
750 g apples, peeled, thinly sliced (with grater)

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine the flour, butter, egg yolk, a splash of milk and sugar. Knead all ingredients to a firm dough. Chill for 30 minutes.

  • Evenly cover the dough with grated apples, sprinkle with brown sugar, lemon zest, ground cinnamon and rum.

  • Cool the pie in the baking pan, cut into equal sized square pieces and dust with powdered sugar (optional).
