Steps

  1. In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered sugar. Mix well and add the cold butter cut into cubes, which you rub into the dry ingredients with your fingertips. Lift the mixture to make it airy and crumbly. Add the egg yolks and quickly knead everything into a dough, which you divide into two parts. Store 1/3 of the dough in the freezer, and 2/3 in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients. Pick through the raisins and soak them in rum or orange juice. Wash, peel, and grate the apples. Coarsely chop the walnuts. Lightly grease the baking dish with butter and line it with baking paper, then preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

  3. Take the dough that was stored in the refrigerator and roll it out on a work surface to the size of the baking dish. Using a rolling pin, transfer it to the baking dish and gently press it against the bottom with your fingers. Prick it in several places with a fork, then layer it with the grated apples, sprinkle the raisins, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon on top.

  4. Beat the egg whites with sugar and lemon juice into stiff peaks, into which you gently and slowly fold the sifted cornstarch. Spread the egg white mixture evenly over the apple filling. Coarsely grate the dough that was stored in the freezer on top. Bake the pastry in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.

  5. Once the pastry is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool. Once cooled, dust it with powdered sugar, cut it into pieces, and serve. *Watch the entire process of making the apple pie in the video below.
