Recipe: apple inverted pie

times: 20 minutes + 30 minutes of cooking

Ingredients (for 5-6 people)

• 200 g of 00 flour

  
  
  

• 100 g of cornstarch (or potato starch)

• 3 eggs

• 70 ml of mild seed oil

• 150 g of natural yogurt

• 150 g of sugar

• 2 mele (golden o renette)

• the grated rind of a lemon

• 1 pinch of cinnamon

• vanilla seeds

• 1 tablespoon of toasted pine nuts

• 1 packet of yeast

Method

1. Grease an 18-20 cm cake pan. Mix about 60 g of sugar with the lemon zest. Put this mixture on the bottom of the pan, creating a layer, sprinkle a handful of toasted pine nuts. Now slice the apples very finely, the ideal is with a Japanese mandolin. Place them all over the bottom, rising even an inch along the edges. Sprinkle with lemon juice, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.

2. Now the dough. Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. Beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar, then add the oil, yogurt and a teaspoon of lemon juice and vanilla.

3. Mix together the flour, cornstarch and yeast and add to the mixture, stirring and mixing. Finally, gently stir in the egg whites.

4. Transfer the mixture to the pan and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.

5. Let it cool for about ten minutes, then turn the cake upside down on a serving dish and serve.

The extra idea: you can vary the type of fruit: pears, but also berries (for example blueberries) instead of apples, by adding chocolate chips inside the dough.
