Grease the bottom of a springform pan (26 cm Ø). Roll out 1 portion of dough on a floured work surface to a circle the size of a springform pan, place it on the bottom of the pan, prick several times with a fork, close the pan. Bake the dough base in a preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 10 minutes. Let cool down a little. Roll out the second portion of dough to a strip (approx. 4 x 75 cm), roll it up and place it in the springform pan. Roll out the dough, press lightly on the edge of the tin and the pre-baked base. Pour in the apple mixture and smooth it down. Place the protruding edge of the dough over the filling. Roll out the remaining portion of dough to the size of a springform pan, prick several times with a fork and place it on the filling as a lid. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 45 minutes
