Where to find ingredients
You can find ingredients at local supermarkets and bakeries. If red wine is unavailable, apple juice or cider may be used as a non-alcoholic substitute, though it will change the flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is homogeneous.
- Add the egg yolk and one tablespoon of red wine to the mixture.
- Incorporate the flour gradually.
- Work the dough until it is uniform.
- Expect the dough to have an oily and sticky consistency.
- Divide the dough into two parts, one equivalent to 2/3 and the other to 1/3 of the total.
- Let both portions rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Peel the apples and cut them into medium-sized slices.
- Mix the sliced apples with the remaining tablespoon of wine and the raisins.
- Steam the mixture until the apples become tender.
- Line the bottom and sides of a springform pan with the larger portion of the dough.
- Spread the apple filling over the prepared base.
- Use the smaller portion of the dough to create thin ropes.
- Place these ropes over the filling to create a lattice pattern.
- Bake in a medium-temperature oven until the top of the pie is golden brown.
