250 g Flour
250 g Sugar
1 pinch Salt
6 Eggs (size M)
175 g Butter
1.2 kg Apples
4 TABLESPOONS Lemon juice
2 packages Vanillin sugar
300 g Schmand
4 TABLESPOONS Calvados
20 g Cornstarch
2-3 TABLESPOONS Breadcrumbs
150 g Walnut kernels
50 g Whipped cream
1 TEASPOON Icing sugar for dusting
7-10 Tbsp Fat and flour

baking paper
7-10 Tbsp Aluminium foil

Directions

1
Put flour, 75 g sugar, salt, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon cold water and 125 g butter in small pieces in a mixing bowl. Knead first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth short pastry. Wrap in foil and chill for approx. 30 minutes
2
Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Roll out the short pastry on a large, lightly floured sheet of baking paper (approx. 34 cm Ø) and line the springform pan with it. Press the dough well to the edge of the form and prick the base of the dough several times with a fork. Place the baking tin in a cool place for about 20 minutes.
3
Peel, quarter and core the apples. Cut into slices. Mix with lemon juice and 1 packet of vanilla sugar. Mix sour cream, 5 eggs, 125 g sugar, 1 packet vanilla sugar, calvados and starch with the whisks of the hand mixer.
4
Sprinkle the dough base with breadcrumbs, spread half of the apples on top and pour approx. 1/3 of the custard mixture over it. Pour the rest of the apples on top and pour the rest of the glaze over it. Bake in the preheated oven, lower shelf (electric oven: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 35 minutes
5
Coarsely chop the walnut kernels. Bring cream, 50 g butter and 50 g sugar to the boil and remove from the heat. Fold in nuts and let cool. Spread the walnuts on the cake after about 35 minutes. Bake at reduced heat (electric oven: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for another 25-30 minutes. If necessary, cover with aluminium foil at the end of the baking time. Let the cake cool down in the tin on a cake rack. Remove the cake from the tin and dust the rim with icing sugar. Whipped cream tastes good with it
