Ruddy apples and pot-bellied pumpkins are frequent neighbors on the kitchen table. They make casseroles and pastries from them, jam and even juices.

Baking time depends on the specific type of cake and is always indicated in the recipe. The optimum air temperature in the oven should not exceed 180 degrees. Product readiness is checked by piercing the surface with a wooden stick.

Pies with pumpkin and apples - cooking tricks and helpful tips

• If you need to add soda or baking powder to the dough, mix the powder with the flour and then cross it. So they better go on the test.
• Be sure to apply a layer of butter on the bottom and walls of the molds. This will prevent sticking of the product and greatly facilitate the removal of the finished cake from the mold.
• If the pastry is still stuck, put the mold on a damp cloth, such as a towel. After a quarter of an hour, the bottom will dampen a little and the product will slip by itself.
