Cooking
Filling. Dried cherries, pour brandy and leave for 5 hours. (night) do Not like alcohol in baking? Replace it with strong black tea. Instead of cherries you can use dried cranberries or raisins. But with cherry, in my opinion, cake is especially good.
Apples cleaned, remove core, cut into slices of medium size. Given the weight of the already peeled fruit.
In skillet, heat butter and put in her apples. To warm up a couple minutes and fill apples with sugar. (for lack of brown sugar you can use regular white sugar) to Cook the apples on medium heat, stirring occasionally, five minutes. During this time the sugar is completely dissolved and the apples will become soft. The amount of sugar in the filling - a matter of taste. Try the apples and decide for yourself do you have enough sweets.
Each cherry cut in half and add to the apples with the brandy syrup. Mix and heat in a pan all together for another 2-3 minutes. During this time, the resulting syrup will have time to thicken. Remove pan from filling with fire, cool.
Dough. In a bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, vanilla sugar.
Add chilled butter and with your hands quickly grind everything into crumbs.
Beat the egg and knead the dough. (I work first with a spoon, and when all the ingredients combine domeshivayut the dough by hand)
The dough turns out very tender, soft, pliable, but holds its shape well and does not stick to hands. So do not pour all the flour at once. It is possible that it may need a little less. The dough need to knead, so it is not warmed from the heat of the hands.
Divide the dough into two parts: 2/3 and 1/3. In the form (diameter 20 cm) to shell out a large half of the dough, evenly distribute it and make bumpers at the edge of the shape. While we do decoration for the pie form with the dough it is better to put in the fridge.
Working surface, sprinkle lightly with flour, roll out her second, smaller part of the dough into the reservoir. (2-3 mm thick) And here already all depends on your imagination! You can use a small cookie cutter for cookies and cut out the flowers/hearts. Or take a small glass and cut out circles. You can cut the dough into strips and make the cake on the mesh. And you can generally make your life easier and grate the dough on a grater or break it with your hands and put the resulting crumbs/chunks on top of pie. Will still be delicious.
I have used logging for mastic.
And cut out these leaves. September still...
Walnuts to bake a few minutes in the pan and chop into medium crumbs. (of course, this should be done in advance)
Add nuts to apples and mix.
Evenly spread the filling in the form with the dough.
And on top to spread out our jewelry. (flowers/leaves/to rogocki) Bake the cake in preheated to 180° oven 40-45 minutes. (focus on your oven)
Ready pie to cool 15-20 minutes in pan. This is to ensure that the cake is not broke in half, not apart. (there will, of course, delicious, but not very nice...) Again, the dough is very fragile and delicate, and hot - especially.
And then put the pie on a rack and cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. You're done!
