👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix flour, powdered sugar, salt, lemon zest, and baking powder.
- Add the cubed butter and rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and sour cream. Knead gently into a smooth dough.
- Divide dough in half, shape into discs, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Apple Filling:
- Peel and grate the apples.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Squeeze out most of the juice with your hands or a cloth (to avoid soggy cake).
- Mix grated apples with sugar and cinnamon.
3. Assemble the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Roll out one dough half and place it in the pan. Trim edges.
- Sprinkle the base with semolina or breadcrumbs.
- Spread the apple filling evenly.
- Roll out the second dough half and place it on top.
- Prick with a fork all over.
4. Bake:
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing.
5. Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar once cool.
- Cut into squares or bars.
- Pairs beautifully with tea, coffee, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
💡 Tips:
- Let the cake rest a few hours (or overnight) for the flavors to develop.
- This is a non-fussy, rustic cake — perfect for baking in batches and sharing.
