Chop the chilled butter with sifted flour, add to the crumbs zest of 1 lemon. In the original recipe it is proposed to add to the dough 1 tablespoon brandy or cognac. I have rarely found both, so I did not add.

Then use your hands to knead the dough, divide into 2 parts in an approximate ratio of 1/3 and 2/3.

Distribute a large part of the test shape (I have a form with a diameter of 23 cm), making edges, remove half an hour in the fridge.

Meanwhile, cook the filling. Grate apples on a coarse grater.

Add in apples, finely chopped walnuts, pre-soaked raisins, poppy seeds and lemon zest.

There also add spices - cinnamon, ginger and cardamom. Grains extracted from cardamom pods and grind either in a mortar or with the back of a spoon.

Add the sugar, vanilla and mix thoroughly naschu flavored stuffing (you can add 2 tablespoons of brandy).

Now get the form with the dough from the refrigerator. Spread the filling over the dough and press it. Here I must say that I was in for a surprise. In the original recipe it was suggested to roll out the remaining 1/3 of the dough and make a "cover". But my test is not enough to "cover", so I will divide it in an arbitrary order on top of the filling and that well conceived:-[ Morality - if you want the dough was more noticeable, it is necessary to do 1,5-2 rules:-) Or you can use a smaller diameter form. But I felt fine, I just like to test it a little. So put the pie in a preheated 180 degree oven for 20-30 minutes. After the specified time, you can get the pie to give it a little cool...

... and enjoy! Bon appetit!:-)
