👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
For the dough: In a bowl, combine flour and cold butter. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla, egg, sour cream, and lemon zest. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal portions, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

For the filling: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well. Drain any excess juice from the apples.
- 3
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- 4
Roll out one portion of the dough to fit the bottom of the prepared pan. Place it in the pan. If using walnuts, sprinkle half of them over the dough.
- 5
Spread the drained apple filling evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the apples.
- 6
Roll out the second portion of dough. You can either place it as a top crust or cut it into strips for a lattice top. If using a full crust, place it over the apples and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- 7
Whisk the remaining egg and brush it over the top crust. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Let the cake cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing.
