Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350° F.


Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with the pie dough. In a saucepan, over low heat, heat the apricot jam. Brush the dough with the jam.


TO PREPARE TOPPING: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and mix in the sugar. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the flour, then set the topping aside.


TO PREPARE APPLE FILLING: In a bowl, combine the apples, sugar, raisins, ground almonds, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Place the mixture in the prepared crust.


TO PREPARE BATTER: In another bowl, combine the ingredients.


TO ASSEMBLE: Pour the batter over the apple filling. Break the topping into small pieces with a spoon and sprinkle it on top. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.


Cool the cake on a rack. Loosen the crust by running a spatula around the pan, then release the springform pan.
