Baking with apples is popular in most countries. It is easy to prepare and has a great taste and appetizing aroma. Most often, they bake an apple pie in the oven.

There are many options for apple pies, so you can choose an option for every taste. You can cook an apple pie in the oven from different types of dough. Apple filling goes well with biscuit, shortbread, puff, yeast or cake dough.

Some baking recipes are very simple, they do not require special culinary skills. But there are also options for pies with which you will have to tinker, but the result will be great.

It is recommended to choose dense apples for the filling. If you take fruits with loose pulp, they will fall apart, turning into mashed potatoes, which will spoil the look of open pies. You can put both raw fruits and pre-stewed fruits in the filling. You can also use blanks - apple jam, frozen or pickled apples.

The most delicious are pies with sweet and sour apples. If the fruits are sweet, then you can add sour berries to the filling or season it with lemon juice.

By the way, if chopped apple slices are sprinkled with lemon juice, they will not darken. If desired, you can mix apples with other fruits and dried fruits.

The dough can be prepared using different technologies, but in any case, it is necessary to sift the flour before starting the kneading. This technique will make baking more magnificent.
Bake dessert in the oven. The temperature regime and the time that will be spent on baking depend on the type of dough.

"Quick" kefir pie recipe

Pie with kefir dough is a very quick recipe. Such pastries can be pampered at home or prepared for unexpected guests.

Let's prepare the products in advance:

• 2 eggs;
• 1.5 cups flour;
• 50 gr. butter (melt) + a little more butter for greasing the mold;
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5-1 cup sugar (to taste);
• 1 glass of kefir;
• a bag of vanilla sugar;
• a couple of spoons of semolina for sprinkling the form.

We immediately turn on the oven, it will have time to warm up to 180 degrees while we prepare the dough.

Prepare the form by lubricating its bottom and sides with oil, sprinkle with semolina. Cut apples into small slices.

Pour kefir into a bowl, break eggs, add sugar - ordinary sand and vanilla. We beat this mass. Add melted butter, baking powder and flour. Mix carefully. Pour about half of the prepared dough into a mold, then spread the apples, pour the rest of the dough over the fruit. We bake for about 40 minutes.

Classic yeast pie in the oven

Yeast apple pie is very tasty. Preparing yeast dough is not difficult at all, especially if you use dry yeast.

Advice! Please note that there are two types of dry yeast. Active yeast in the form of granules must be mixed with warm liquid and a teaspoon of granulated sugar and let them stand for 15 minutes to rise. Instant yeast does not need such preparation; they are mixed in dry form with flour.

For the sweet pie, we will prepare a pastry dough using instant yeast.

We will need:

• 250 ml of milk;
• 120 gr. butter and a little more for greasing the baking sheet;
• 1 package of instant yeast (11 gr.);
• 2 eggs;
• 100 gr. Sahara;
• a quarter teaspoon of salt;
• about 0.6 kg of flour (it may take a little more);
• a pinch of vanillin;
• 4 apples;
• 4 tablespoons of sugar;
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
• a little lemon juice;
• 2-3 tablespoons of starch;
• 50 gr. raisins (optional)

Melt the butter in a saucepan, pour in the milk. The mass should have a temperature of no more than 40 degrees. Separately beat eggs with sugar, vanilla and salt. Mix instant yeast with flour.

Advice! If only raw pressed yeast is on hand, then 30 grams will be required to bake this pie.

Pour milk with butter into beaten eggs, and then we begin to introduce flour into this mixture, kneading thoroughly. The result should be a soft dough. It will stick a little to your hands, but you do not need to add more flour, just grease your hands with vegetable oil and continue to knead. Then roll into a ball, put in a dish with high sides and cover with a linen napkin.

Leave for 1-1.5 hours to rise. During this time, knead the rising dough 1-2 times.

In the filling, you can use grated apples or fruits, cut into thin slices. Mix fruits with cinnamon, raisins and sugar. You can bake such a pie with apple jam.

Cut the dough into two halves if we bake a closed cake. If you want to bake an open version of the pie, then you need to separate about a third of the finished dough. We roll out the lower layer with a rolling pin, sprinkle its surface with starch, spread the filling, level it.

Roll out the rest of the dough. If this is a closed cake, then cover the lower layer with a rolled cake, pinch it and make several cuts in the upper part to let the steam out. If the cake is open, then cut the rolled out dough into strips and lay them out in the form of a lattice.

Leave the pie blank for 15 minutes for the final proofing. Lubricate the top with yolk. And bake for 40 minutes on medium heat (170-180 degrees). Having taken out a magnificent cake from the oven, grease its upper crust with butter, and cover the baking with a towel until it cools.

Enjoy your meal!

Step 1: prepare the butter.

We spread the butter in a Turk and put the container on a small fire. With constant stirring with a wooden spatula or a tablespoon, melt the butter to a liquid state. Immediately after this, turn off the burner, and set the oil aside to cool to a liquid state.

Step 2: prepare the lemon.

For the preparation of pies, we do not need the lemon itself, but only its juice, in order to give the filling a piquant acid. Therefore, to begin with, we lightly rinse the citrus under running water and then, using a manual juicer, squeeze the juice from half a lemon.

Step 3: prepare the walnuts.

Put the walnuts on a cutting board and chop into small pieces with a knife. After that, transfer to a free plate.

Step 4: Preparing the Apples

First of all, we wash the apples well under running warm water. After - put it on a cutting board and use a knife to cut the fruit into two halves. We remove the core from each part of the apple and remove the tail. And now we cut the apples into thin small pieces. Attention: Apple peel can be cut off as desired. If the apple is young, then the skin can be left. Transfer the chopped component to a bowl.

Step 5: prepare the filling.

Pour freshly squeezed lemon juice into a bowl with chopped apple, and add sugar, vanilla sugar and walnuts to taste. Using a tablespoon, mix well until the lemon juice soaks the apple slices well and the sugar slightly melts.

Step 6: Cooking Lavash Pies with Apples.

Using a knife, cut the pita leaves into rectangular pieces on a cutting board of the size you want to see your pies. After that, using a pastry brush, grease each piece with a small amount of melted butter. This must be done so that the pita bread, having been soaked with the creamy component, becomes soft and does not dry out during the frying process from the inside. On each piece, spread with a tablespoon a small amount of apple-nut filling. Attention: you can lay out the filling over the entire surface of the pita bread, or you can also from one edge. It all depends on how you want to shape the pies, but you can shape them in different ways. For example, you can wrap the filling in pita bread in the form of squares, or you can twist the pies into rolls. The main thing is that it is convenient to fry them afterwards and that the filling does not fall out of the pita bread. Therefore, first of all, after we lay out the filling, we bend the edges of the pita bread inside the dish, and only after that we form the pies. Now put the pan on medium heat and pour a small amount of oil into the container. When the oil warms up well, reduce the heat to medium and put the pies in a container with the seam down. Fry the dish on one side for 2-4 minutes so that the pie is covered with a golden crust and after that - immediately turn it over with a wooden spatula to the other side and also fry the pie until golden brown. Then, by hand, we transfer the dish to a serving plate, and put the next batch of pies in the pan. And so on until we fry all the pies.

Step 7: Serve Lavash Pies with Apples.

Lavash pies with apples are very tasty, fragrant, with a delicate sweet and sour filling and a golden fried crust. Before serving, the cooled pies can be sprinkled with a small amount of powdered sugar, if desired. We treat friends and relatives with a dish along with hot tea or a cup of coffee. Enjoy your meal!

- - To prepare the filling, apples can also be chopped on a coarse grater. Only in this case, if the fruit is quite juicy, it will be necessary to drain the resulting apple juice before forming the pies, so that during the cooking process the dish does not get wet from the inside and does not tear right in the pan.

- - Instead of walnuts, you can add any other nuts to your taste in the filling.

- - For the preparation of fillings for pies, it is best to use sweet hard apples.

- - Lavash pies with apples can also be baked in the oven. To do this, it is best to grease the baking sheet with vegetable or melted butter with a confectionery brush, and grease the top of the pies with beaten egg yolk so that the pies turn out with a golden crust.

COMPOUND

1 sheet of thin lavash (size 50x70cm), 50g butter, ~100g sour cream, 2~3 tbsp sugar for sprinkling

FILLING

50g butter, 0.5 cup sugar, ~1.5kg apples

Filling
Cut out seed pods from apples. If the skin is hard, then peel off, if thin, then leave.

Sprinkle in an even layer of sugar.

Wait until the sugar begins to caramelize in some places - turn brown. Do not bring to the appearance of smoke.

Pour in the apples.

Fry with stirring for 7~10 minutes. Apples should give juice in which the caramel will dissolve. The apples themselves should be steamed and become soft on the outside, but retain their shape.
Remove skillet from heat.

Assembling the pie
Put finely chopped pieces of butter on the bottom of the baking dish. (Butter can be melted if desired.)
Lay a sheet of pita bread in the form so that the ends hang outward. Moreover, one hanging side should be larger than the second.

Fold inward the smaller overhanging side and cover the second.
Trim the second side so that it only slightly exceeds the size of the form.

Open lavash. Put the scraps on the bottom.
Pour in half of the filling and smooth it out.

Cover with the uncut side of the pita bread. Gently straighten the folds and corners.

Lay out the rest of the filling and cover it with the cut side.
Tuck the edges of the pita bread down so that they do not stick out.

Brush the top of the pie with sour cream and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake the cake in an oven preheated to t=200~220°C until the surface is browned - 20~30 minutes.

At the finished cake, run a knife along the walls so that sticking does not occur.
Cool without removing from the mold.
Transfer the cooled cake to a plate with two spatulas.
If the cake sags and breaks when lifted with spatulas, then it is better to take it out by turning it over.
