Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the dough: Sift the flour into a bowl and mix it with the lard. Add the sugar, a pinch of salt, the egg, baking powder and sour cream. Work the dough thoroughly. If the dough is too stiff, add a little more sour cream. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  • Preparing the filling: Peel the apples and slice them. Soak the raisins briefly in hot water to soften them. Roll out half of the dough on a baking sheet (size approx. 30x40 cm), sprinkle it with the raisins and arrange the sliced apples on it.
  • Pudding layer: From the milk, sugar and vanilla pudding powder cook a thick pudding according to the instructions on the package. While still hot, pour the pudding evenly over the apples.
  • Finishing and baking: Roll out the second half of the dough and cut it into strips. Use these strips to create a lattice on the surface. Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 35 minutes until golden. After baking, let it cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar.
