Best Romanian Apple Pie Recipes

ROMANIAN APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Dissolve the baking soda in the lemon juice or vinegar. Then mix the flour and baking soda mixture together in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• In a separate bowl mix the sugar, vanilla, and egg(s) until you have a paste. Pour the oil into the paste gradually while stirring.
• Pour the mixture of egg, sugar, and oil into the large bowl with the flour and baking soda that has already been mixed. Add milk and continue stirring until you obtain an elastic dough.
• Divide the dough into two halves. Roll one half and place it carefully on an oiled baking dish (I use an 8x13 dish).
• Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the dough in the pan (reserve 1 Tbsp of bread crumbs for the next step) and then spread the grated apples evenly over the bread crumbs.
• Over the apples evenly sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sugar, 1 Tbsp of cinnamon, and the reserved Tbsp of bread crumbs.
• Roll out the other half of dough, lay it on top, and press on the sides until sealed.
• Bake at around 350°F until it's nicely brown (about 30-35 minutes). After it cools sprinkle powdered sugar over the top.

ROMANIAN APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Cut the apples into 1 inch wedges. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until blended. Mix in the baking soda, oil, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir in the flour, just until incorporated. Fold in the apples and walnuts.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly. May be served warm or at room temperature.
