Layered apple pie with cranberries
One of the simplest recipes. After all, we will use ready-made dough for this pie - frozen puff pastry. Ingredients:
- Packing of puff pastry;
- 1 cup of sugar;
- 1 kg of apples;
- 2 cup crushed cranberries;
- Half a cup of thick cream;
- One third of a glass of flour;
- 2 tablespoons butter.
Preparation:First, we will prepare the filling for the pie. To do this, wash the apples, peel them and cut them into small cubes. In total, we will need about four cups of chopped apples. Mash the cranberries into a puree. Now pour sugar, cinnamon and flour into a bowl, add chopped apples and cranberry puree, and then beat the filling. Turn on the oven and leave it to heat up to 200-220 degrees. Divide the dough into two parts (one slightly larger). Place the larger part on a floured table and roll it into a round cake. Now place this cake in a baking pan, covering its bottom and sides. The dough should go up the sides of the pan to a height of about three centimeters. Place the filling on the dough and sprinkle with shavings of butter on top. Sprinkle the edge of the cake with water. Roll out the remaining dough into a round flat cake and cover the pie with it. Pierce this layer of dough in several places, then pinch the edges and smooth them out. Put the pie in the oven and leave it there for fifteen minutes. Now reduce the oven temperature to 180 degrees and bake our pie for another forty minutes. Take the pie out, quickly make a few cuts on it and pour cream into them. Put the pan back in the oven for five minutes. And now the pie is ready! Take it out of the pan only when it has cooled down.

To prevent the sliced apples from darkening, you can sprinkle them with lemon juice. Now let's make the dough. Put the soft butter in a bowl and beat it. Then add granulated sugar and vanilla sugar and grind this mass until white, then break one egg into it and mix everything well again. Pour the yolks into the butter mixture and mix thoroughly again until the mass becomes homogeneous. Sift the flour, mix it with baking powder and pour it into a bowl, then knead the dough. Add the cranberries rolled in flour to the finished dough and mix carefully. Turn on the oven and let it heat up to 180 degrees. Grease the baking pan with vegetable oil and put the dough in it.

Now pour this mixture on top of the apples and send the pan with the pie into the oven, where we leave it for thirty minutes. During this time, you need to prepare the decoration. Beat the cooled egg white with granulated sugar and lemon juice until a strong thick foam forms. If the egg white does not fall out when you turn the dish upside down, then the foam is ready.
