Torta di mele dello chef

INGREDIENTS

  • 300 g of 00 flour
  • 180 g butter (soft)
  • 200 ml of plain yogurt
  • 200 g of sugar
  • 3 Renetta apples + 2 Anurca apples for the top (original recipe 4 apples in total)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 sachet of yeast (16 g)
  • 1 organic lemon
  • A pinch of salt
  • Brown sugar (for the top)
  • Powdered sugar for decoration

PROCEDURE

  • Peel 3 apples and cut them into chunks. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
  • Beat the eggs with the sugar. Add the soft butter, yogurt, sifted flour and baking powder, lemon zest and salt.
  • Add the apple cubes and mix.
  • Line a 24cm cake tin with baking paper and pour in the mixture.
  • Original recipe: slice the apples and arrange them on the surface, brown sugar and bake.
  • My version features a different top decoration.
  • Wash and slice the annurca apples, keeping the peel. Cook them for a few minutes in water and sugar to soften them.
  • Roll them up to make buds (watch the reel). Arrange them on the top of the cake.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar over the surface.
  • Bake at 180° for about 50/60 minutes; cover the top with tin foil if it gets too dark, I did it after 30 minutes. Do the toothpick test especially in the center.
  • Sprinkle with icing sugar; also excellent warm.
