Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour with leavening agent
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 sprinkling)
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 sprinkling)
Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour with leavening agent can be found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Butter and margarine are widely available. Sugar, eggs, apples, orange juice, honey, and cinnamon are common pantry staples. If you cannot find self-rising flour (flour with leavening agent), you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of flour.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with leavening agent, butter or margarine, 2 cups sugar, and egg yolks
- Using your fingertips or two forks, work the mixture until you get a homogeneous crumbly texture
- Grease a medium baking dish with butter or margarine and dust with a little flour, if desired
- Place half of the crumbly dough 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, 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 over the top
- Let it cool slightly before serving
- The pie can be enjoyed warm or cold
