Getting the Apples Ready
Let’s start by perfectly preparing those apples:
Clean and Cube: Peel and cut the apples into small cubes without peeling them after washing them and removing the cores. To keep them from browning, put them in a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice.
Spice and sweeten: To the apples, add water, vanilla sugar, and stevia sweetener (or sugar). To uniformly coat them, thoroughly mix. Add the chopped walnuts, raisins, cinnamon, and a hefty amount of salt after that. Give the flavors ten minutes or so to meld.
Blending the Cake
Let’s now prepare the batter that will encase our delicious combination of fruit and nuts:
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a another dish, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix it well until it’s smooth.
Add the dry ingredients and stir. Add the baking powder and flour to the wet mixture gradually. Once everything is thoroughly mixed and the batter is smooth, stir gently. - Blend the Flavors: Gently fold the apple combination into the batter, making sure that the apples and nuts are distributed evenly.
Putting Butter on the Mold
Let’s get the mold ready so our pie doesn’t stick and bakes to perfection:
- Put some grease on it: Grease a rectangle glass mould liberally with butter. This will help to keep the pie from crusting over the edges.
- Share the Happiness: Using a spoon to level the top and distribute the batter evenly, pour the batter into the greased mold.
Baking to a Perfect Finish
Now is the time to let the oven do its thing:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C before baking. When the oven is hot, place the mold inside and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Dust and Delight: After baking, take the pie out of the oven and let it to cool down a little. Add icing sugar to the top for an added sweet touch and eye-catching appearance.
