Ziggy's Apple Pie

Mix the flour with the baking powder and add 100 g sugar, butter, vanilla sugar, egg and salt. Knead everything into a smooth dough ball and chill the dough for 30 minutes.

Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Simmer the apples with 3 tbsp water, 100 g sugar, the cinnamon and apple syrup for about 10 minutes, then let cool.

Grease a springform pan with butter and roll out half of the dough into a circle the diameter of your pan base and place into it. Press the base against the bottom edge of the pan and then press it slightly up the sides.

Prick all areas of the dough with a fork, and pre-bake for 15-20 minutes at 200 degrees celsius in a preheated oven.

Then, spread the apple compote mixture on the cake base, roll out the remaining dough, and arrange it in lattice strips on top.

Bake for another 15 minutes at the same temperature. Then remove the cake and let it cool in the pan.

Optionally serve with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
