French Apple Pie

 

Ingredients

• 150g (3/4 cup) butter
• 4 eggs
• About 1 Tbsp vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch baking powder
• 150g (roughly 1 1/2 cups) flour
• 150g (about 1 1/3 cups) sugar (white or brown)
• 500g (Roughly 1 lb) Golden Delicious apples
• powdered sugar
• 4 teaspoons Calvados 

Method:

Melt the butter, let it cool down a bit while you peel your apples, cut them in quarters and cut the center out. Put your sugar, eggs, vanilla sugar, butter, salt and calvados in a big bowl and mix it until it's foamy. 

Next, slice your apples into thin slices,Pour the flour and the pinch of baking powder into your egg, sugar, and butter mixture and mix it up until it's smooth. Then put about 4/5th of your apples in there, and gently mix it up until all slices are covered in batter. 

Grease a round cake pan (medium sized) and pour everything into it, smooth it out. Remember the 1/5th of apple slices you have left over? Grab them and try to arrange them nicely on top of the batter.  

Bake the French apple pie around 200°C (395°F) on the lowest level in your oven for about 50 minutes. Please check on the pie regularly, and at around 35-40 minutes, if you see the top getting brown, cover it up with foil and finish baking.This is what the French apple pie looks like fresh out of the oven!
