Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour with leavening
200g butter or margarine, room temperature
2 cups sugar
3 egg yolks
3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup sugar mixed with ground cinnamon (for dusting)
200g butter or margarine, room temperature
2 cups sugar
3 egg yolks
3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup sugar mixed with ground cinnamon (for dusting)
Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour with leavening can be found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. If not available, you can use all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour. Butter and margarine are readily available in the dairy or baking sections. Granulated sugar and ground cinnamon are pantry staples found in any grocery store. Eggs are in the dairy section. Apples, oranges, and honey are typically found in the produce section. For a Brazilian touch, consider specialty Latin or import food stores for specific varieties of apples or honey, though standard varieties will work well.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with leavening, butter or margarine, 2 cups sugar, and egg yolks
- With your fingertips or two forks, work the mixture until it forms a homogeneous crumbly texture
- Grease a medium baking dish with butter or margarine and lightly flour it, if desired
- Place half of the crumbly dough mixture in the baking dish, spreading and pressing firmly with a spoon to form an even base
- Arrange the thin apple slices over the dough base
- In a small bowl, mix the orange juice with honey and drizzle over the apples
- Cover the apples with the remaining crumbly dough mixture, spreading gently without pressing down
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown
- Remove the pie from the oven and, while still warm, generously sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture on top
- Let cool slightly before serving
- The pie can be enjoyed warm or cold
