Ingredients
  • For the dough: we will use a tray (16 inch/ 11inch).
  • 250gr margarine (shortening)
  • 200 gr yogurt
  • a pinch of salt
  • 400 gr flour (more or less, depending of the dryness)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 sachet vanilla sugar
  • Filling: 4 pounds sour apples (Idared/ Granny Smith/Jonagold)
  • sugar to taste (6-8 tbsp)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 sachets vanilla sugar
Instructions
  1. First prepare the apples, wash them, peel and grate them. Place them in a stainless steel saucepan with sugar (I put about 6-8 tablespoons of sugar) and cook them until soft. when they are ready (when there is no more juice in it), give the pan aside and put cinnamon and vanilla.
  2. Dough:
  3. Margarine should be at room temperature. Put it in a bowl and mix it with yogurt.
  4. Add the flour together with baking powder (gradually) over margarine and yogurt and stir well by hand until the dough is not sticky (should be neither too soft, neither too hard)
  5. Let it cool at least 30 minutes, then take it out from the fridge and divide it in two equal parts and stretch it with the rolling pin as long as the tray is (it should be a little bit bigger than the pan, because you will stretch it on the sides of the pan)
  6. Put the parchment paper on the pan, line the dough and then add the apple filling.
  7. Do the same thing with the second dough and sting the surface with a fork.
  8. Preheat oven at 375 F and bake it about 30 minutes, but the oven should be checked from time to time (every oven bakes differently). It will brown nicely, but not too much.
  9. When is ready, powder some confectioners sugar on the top, let it cool (if you resist :-), and serve!
  10. Enjoy!
  11. Cut large pieces and serve with lust!
