The “Gourmet” pie is an extremely simple and delicious dessert! Even a person who is “at your service” with a pastry chef can make it. For the recipe, you will need about 550 g of apples. It is important that this applies to already peeled fruits, without the peel and core. The apples need to be cut into slices. It is convenient to do this with a grater, so the pieces will be the same, and you will spend less time. But you can cope with it with the help of an ordinary knife.
In a separate bowl, combine a teaspoon of cinnamon, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, and a tablespoon of regular sugar. Mix everything well. After that, grease the baking dish well with soft butter, and grease the bottom with a tablespoon of honey. After that, you can shape the pie. To do this, you need to lay out the apples in layers, sprinkling each with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and starch.
The last layer does not need to be sprinkled, but press it down a little to make the layers denser. Cover the top of the pan with foil or parchment. After that, you need to bake the cake at a temperature of 160°C for 1 hour. During this time, the apple pie will bake well and decrease in volume a little. Therefore, you can put the apples in the pan under the very top.
As for the exact amount of sugar-cinnamon mixture, it all depends on the desired result. If you sprinkle a little, it will turn out more like marmalade. Do you want it to resemble a regular cake? Then pour more. In any case, the result will be very tasty. And even if you make the cake denser, it will still be less caloric than the classic options, because it does not contain flour and almost does not require butter.
