👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add sugar, egg yolks, sour cream, and vanilla.
- Knead until a smooth dough forms (don’t overwork). Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Apple Filling:
- Grate the apples and squeeze out excess juice (important to prevent sogginess).
- Mix with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
3. Assemble the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan.
- Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half and place it in the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle semolina or breadcrumbs over the dough to absorb juices.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the bottom layer.
- Roll out the second half of the dough and lay it over the apples. Seal the edges.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and prick a few holes with a fork.
4. Bake:
- Bake for about 35–40 minutes, until golden on top.
5. Cool & Serve:
- Let cool completely before slicing. Dust generously with powdered sugar.
