Ingredients for making apple pie with poppy
On the form of 20-24 cm:
- Butter - 100 g;
- Sugar - 150 g;
- Large chicken eggs - 2 pcs .;
- Unscented sunflower oil - 4 tbsp. l .;
- Flour - approximately 1, 5 glasses;
- Baking powder - 1, 5 tsp;
- Mac - 2 tbsp. l .;
- Apples - 3-5 pcs., Depending on the size.
Cooking Apple Pie with Poppy
Butter should be softened, getting out of the refrigerator for 20 minutes before you start to prepare the dough. If the guests are already on the doorstep and you are in a hurry, the oil softening process can be accelerated by slightly heating it in the microwave or on the stove. Just beware: the oil should not melt completely, but only become soft.
Whip butter and sugar with a mixer for 15-20 seconds at medium speed. Then we beat the eggs one at a time, each time whipping a little more until homogeneous.
Then pour sunflower oil into the dough - it is better to take the refined one, since the fragrant will give the cake its (other) flavor. Stir with a spoon.
Sift wheat flour into a bowl with dough, mix it with baking powder for dough, and pour dry poppy. Mix again.
We'll wash and clean the apples - preferably not only from the bones and partitions, but also from the peel, so that the cake is more tender. Cut apples into small cubes and add to the dough.
Stir once again. The dough for the cake is ready. Now you need to prepare a form. Suitable as detachable and normal. If you have parchment, lubricate it with vegetable oil and close the bottom of the form with paper; the sides are also greased so that the cake does not stick. If there is no baking paper, grease the bottom and walls of the form with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs or semolina.
Put the dough into a mold, flatten it with a spoon and send the cake into the preheated oven. We bake at 180-190ºC for 30-35 minutes. When the top of the cake turns red evenly, and the wooden stick comes out dry, the apple pie with poppy seeds is ready.
Fresh apple pie with poppy seeds is very tender, so let it cool in the form of about five minutes. Then gently move it to the dish and, after waiting a little more until the dough becomes not hot, but pleasantly warm, we add sugar powder (if you sprinkle the cake directly from the oven with it, the powder can melt). A little trick - so that the icing sugar is placed on the baking surface evenly, it is better to pour it not with a pinch, but through a small strainer.
Cut the apple pie with poppy seeds into portions, brew flavored tea and invite everyone to the table!
