Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour with baking powder
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 baking powder can be found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. If you can't find self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder per cup of flour. Butter and margarine are widely available in the dairy section. Sugar and cinnamon are pantry staples. Apples, orange juice, and honey are found in the produce and baking sections respectively. For a Brazilian touch, consider using native apple varieties if available at specialty markets. Otherwise, common apple varieties like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp work perfectly.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with baking powder, butter or margarine, 2 cups sugar, and egg yolks
- With 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 the 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
