THE fall cake: apples!!

In this time of the year, I really love apple pies. The apples are now tasty and juicy and apple pies fit so good the cold foggy days.

So, if you are a feed up with the Christmas preparations, you can enjoy this easy and fast apple pie. With a food processor you will need just 10minutes.

170g butter @roomtemperature

200g sugar

220g flour

80g potato flour

1ts vanilla sugar

1ts vanilla extract

2 ts baking powder

Grated lemon peel

2 ts

1 or 2 Apples (I used 3, but they were small organic apples)

Milk

1 ts Rum

Salt

For the finishing: cinnamon and powdered sugar

Cut some baking paper in the shape of the bottom of the tray. Fold the tray and leave the walls uncovered. Peel the apples, remove the seeds and cut 1/3 in small cubes, the rest in thin slices.

Pre heat the oven at 160°C.

Whisk the soft butter until it gets spiky. Then add the sugar and go on in whisking until the sugar is melted.

Add the eggs, but only one at time even if you use a food processor. Mix in the next egg only when the previous has been absorbed.

Now add a pinch of salt and all the flavors.

Mix together the flours and the baking powder. Add the dry mixture to the main mix in big spoons alternatively to a bit of milk (in spoons). Add only the amount of milk that you need to have a soft but dense dough, not liquid. You will get the right consistency when the dough can heavily fell off in a big amount from a tilted spoon.

Last mix in the apple cubes.

Pour gently the mix in the baking tray and cover the top with the apple slices. You can arrange them in a star or a rose shape. Just press them a bit into the dough.

Bake for approximately 40minutes in the middle level of the oven at 160°C. To be sure of baking process, at the end test the cake with a toothpick (if you pull it out dirty with liquid dough extend the baking time until dry).

When cold, sprinkle the powdered sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon.
