🧑🍳 Preparation
1. Prepare the crust
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cold butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, ground almonds, egg, baking powder, milk, and salt. Knead into a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the apples
Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly. In a large pot, combine the slices with apple juice, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Gently heat until the apples are slightly softened but still have some bite.
3. Cook the pudding
Prepare the pudding powder according to package instructions, then stir it into the warm apple mixture. Make sure everything is well combined.
4. Mix the sour cream layer
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, heavy cream, sugar, egg, pudding powder, and salt until smooth.
5. Assemble the cake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), top/bottom heat. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and press it into a greased springform pan. Evenly spread the apple mixture on the dough, then pour the sour cream topping over it.
6. Bake
Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling has set. Let the cake cool in the pan slightly before removing.
7. Serve
Allow to cool completely, then serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream. This ultra-creamy apple cake is guaranteed to win everyone over!
Enjoy baking!
