Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the flour, butter and sugar into a crumbly mixture. Then add water and knead into a uniform dough.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Wash the apples thoroughly, peel and cut into small cubes. Drizzle the juice of one lemon over the apple pieces. Add the sugar, flour and a pinch of cinnamon and mix well. Crumble the amaretti cookies and fold into the apple mixture together with the whole almonds.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Take the chilled dough out of the fridge, divide it in half and roll out each half on a floured work surface to a thickness of approx. 4 mm. Line a springform tin with the first pastry base, pricking the base several times with a fork.
- Spread the apple filling evenly on top. Place the second circle of pastry over the filling as a lid and press the edges down firmly. Cut off the excess dough and use for the decoration.
- Whisk an egg with a little milk and brush the cake with it. Sprinkle with cane sugar and prick the surface of the cake several times with a knife.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes until the cake is golden brown. Leave to cool completely before serving.
