Ingredients

Shortcrust pastry dough

300g white flour
Salt
4 tsp baking powder
200g butter, cold
140g sugar
3 egg yolks
2 tbsp ground hazelnuts

Filling

8 small apples
150 g sugar
3 tbsp sultana raisins
flaked almonds

Directions

Shortcrust pastry dough:
Mix the flour, salt and baking powder and then add the sliced cold butter, stir the mixture until it becomes crumby. Add the sugar and egg yolks, quickly mix into dough. Do not knead. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and cool for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough until it is the size of the spring-form (26cm spring-form pan), plus a 4 cm crust and then place in the baking paper-lined pan. Again let cool. Sprinkle the hazelnuts on the dough bottom.

Filling:
Peel the apples and remove cores; cut into slices and warm in a pan with the sugar until the fruit releases juices. Mix in the raisins. Let cool. Spread the mass on the dough bottom: sprinkle the flaked almonds on top. Bake the pie in the middle of a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 180 c.
