Cooking

step-0
First, soak the apricots in brandy. Apricots choose ripe, but firm, not a weakling, otherwise they turn to mush. The number of apricots depends on the size of the form. I have the Patty was very small form with a diameter of 17 cm, and with a hole in the middle, so if you form more, do 1.5-2 standards products. Put half of apricots in shape, so they covered the bottom completely, so this will be the amount that you need. Apricots cut into halves, I only have 4 PCs, ie 8 halves. Remove seeds, sprinkle with 2 tbsp sugar, sprinkle with brandy and leave for a while, 1-2 hours, 2-3 times during this time, stir the sugar is completely dissolved and the apricots provide juice and marinated in brandy. These apricots are the most delicious for baking.
step-1
Apple remove skin, cut into 4 pieces and cut each piece crosswise in thin slices. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Walnuts grind or very finely chop, mix with breadcrumbs, spices and sugar.
step-2
The softened butter vzbit with sugar and honey in a lush cream. Beat until the mixture is light, white and airy and will not increase in size. It took me about 8-9 minutes. Add the egg and a good beat together with butter until slightly thickens and becomes creamy.
step-3
Then add vanilla, zest and wine, mix well. Here is a mixer not required, to mix by hand whisk, beat the impossible.
step-4
Pour the sifted flour with the baking powder and knead a soft, sticky dough. I have a glass of 200 ml, it took me 1 Cup plus a little less than half, approximately 200 g of flour.
step-5
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Form grease with oil. I want to give advice. Can someone come in handy. The oven I have is old and bad. And all modern forms for baking thin-walled, i.e., in my case at the optimum temperature, the edges and bottom of the burn quickly, but inside is raw dough, and if you do lower the temperature, just everything will dry up and will resemble a large biscuit. Therefore, to avoid this, I wrap form foil so that the shiny side was outside, and the form itself put a pan with low edges or small pan, then I can safely say that I have normal cake without burning the edges and bottom with a porous, juicy and baked center ))) On the bottom of the form put the apricots, midway up, the skin on the bottom. The resulting syrup, which was marinated apricots to leave. From white chocolate to make as many pieces as halves of apricots. I every one was cut lengthwise into two parts, can be put and intact. In each half apricot into a recess under the stone, put a piece of white chocolate.
step-6
Mix apples with walnut mixture.
step-7
Apricots put half of the dough, put the dough Apple filling. Apples to pay the remaining half of the dough, flatten. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180 C. or less, with a wooden splinter should come out without dough itself may be wet, the main thing that there was no raw dough.
step-8
The finished cake in several places to pierce with a toothpick, and pour brandy syrup from apricots. The dough by itself and asks to have it impregnated. So if you want the amount of syrup for the impregnation it is better to increase. You can just sugar with water bring to a boil, and then add the brandy syrup, or mixed with syrup. But next time I impregnate it better impregnation will not be superfluous, but it was very tasty.
step-9
Allow to stand 10 minutes in pan, then cover with a flat plate and gently turn. Allow to cool to room temperature. You can sprinkle sugar powder.
