Ingredients
- 300 grams sweet apples
- 3 large eggs
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 160 grams granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 160 ml kefir (or buttermilk)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ packet of vanilla sugar (or a splash of vanilla extract)
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Method
- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking dish by greasing it with a bit of butter.
- In a bowl, sift the flour to aerate it, then mix in the baking powder, ground cinnamon, and vanilla sugar.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using a whisk or electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is light and frothy.
- Gradually add the kefir to the egg mixture while continuing to mix. Ensure the kefir is at room temperature for the best results.
- Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove, and let it cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs. Slowly pour the melted butter into the egg and kefir mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Carefully incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no lumps remain.
- Peel the apples, remove the cores, and chop them into small cubes. Fold the apple pieces into the batter. Adjust the quantity of apples to your preference for a juicier or drier pie.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle some additional cinnamon on top for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the pie cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, and consider pairing it with a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat!
