Preparation

Step 1

Cut the butter into cubes and mix it in with the flour.

Step 2

Beat the egg and slowly mix it in with the flour and butter, saving a little to brush on at the end.

Step 3

Add the sugar and milk. Mix everything to a smooth ball without lumps.

Step 4

Leave to rest under a towel.
While this is resting, grease the cake tin with butter and sprinkle with flour (remove any flour which does not stick to the butter)

Step 5

Roll out the dough (approx 75mm thick) and place it into the cake tin. (save a bit of dough for the top layer)

Step 6

Peel the apples and slice them. Place them on top of the dough in layers, and sprinkle each layer with a cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Step 7

On top of the last layer of apples, place thin strips of dough in a fishnet pattern and brush over the remaining egg.

Step 8

Place in a preheated oven at 150°C and bake for 45mins-1hr. Turn the oven off for the last 15mins.
