Preparation

Step 1

Sieve the 250g of flour into a bowl. Make a divot and crumble in the yeast along with some of the sugar and all of the milk. Add in some of the flour from the edges. Mix only this small mixture in the centre of the bowl; cover and leave to rise for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Add the remainder of the 25g of sugar, the melted butter, the egg, the salt and the lemon peel into the bowl and beat all of this together until the dough is thoroughly mixed and starts to show air bubbles. Then cover it again and leave to rise for a further 15 minutes.

Step 3

Peel, core and slice the apples.

Step 4

Roll out the dough and place on a lightly greased baking tray. Lay the apples tightly onto the dough.

Step 5

Pour the 350g of flour into a clean mixing bowl. Add the sugar, the vanilla sugar and the 200g of melted butter and rub together to create Streusel (similar to crumble but with larger crumbs).
