Preparation

Peel the apples, remove the core and cut into small pieces. Put them in a bowl with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, starch and raisins. Mix well and let rest at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
Mix flour with baking powder, sugar, lemon zest, butter cut into small pieces, egg and a pinch of salt in a bowl to get nice crumbs.
Cover a mold with a diameter of 22 cm with baking paper. Fill with half of the crumbs and then cover with the apple filling. Add almond flakes (optional) to the remaining crumbs, mix and put on the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180° (top/bottom heat) for about 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and only take out of the mold when cold. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

In the Apples Paradise
The apple history begins in the Garden of Eden. And since then it has not lost any of its appeal. Not only does it look good to bite and it really tastes great, but it also makes our body well, and our Val Venosta apple producers know it not only from the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". That's why they do everything possible every day to get the best out of their apples.
