Covered baked apple cake

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Put flour, 200 g sugar, eggs and lemon zest in a mixing bowl. Add fat in pieces and knead everything well with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. At the end knead with the hands quickly to a smooth dough, cover and put in a cool place for about 30 minutes. Mix raisins and rum and put aside. Wash, peel and halve apples and cut out the core. Mix 1/2 litre cold water and lemon juice and put the apple halves in.

   Roll out a good half of the shortcrust pastry in the greased grease pan of the oven (approx. 39x34 cm). Press the edges of the dough up. Refrigerate the rest of the dough. Drain apple halves well, press some raisins into the cavity and place them with the cut surface close together on the dough. Stir pudding powder and approx. 150 g cream until smooth. Boil up the rest of the cream, except for 2 teaspoons, vanillin sugar and remaining sugar. Add the pudding powder while stirring and bring to the boil again briefly. Pour the pudding evenly between the apples. Roll out the remaining dough on a floured work surface or on foil to a rectangle of approx. 39 x 34 cm. Place the dough over the apples and press down at the edges. Bake in a preheated oven (electric: 200 °C / gas: level 3) for 1-11/4 hours.
