Torta mele e nocciola

INGREDIENTS

200 g of spelt flour

100 g hazelnut flour

150 g of fine brown sugar

170 ml of soy drink

80 ml of rice oil

3 eggs

a pinch of cinnamon

4 apples (2 red moon, 2 renetta)

1 sachet of yeast

a pinch of salt

chopped hazelnuts

PROCEDURE

  • Beat the eggs with the sugar and cinnamon until the mixture is frothy and well-swollen. Add, continuing to beat, the oil and then the milk (or soy drink). Add the hazelnut flour at low speed, and finally the flour with the yeast and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the diced apples and mix. I first cut the leaves from the apple slices with cookie cutters, to use for decoration, and diced the remaining part for the dough together with the two rennet apples.
  • Remember that Red Moon apples do not oxidize, so if you use other types of apples, sprinkle with lemon to avoid this and sugar if you want.
  • Pour the mixture into the greased and floured mold. Arrange the apple slices and chopped hazelnuts on the surface.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180° for approximately 45/50 minutes.
