Apple pie cake

Ingredients:

 The crust:

•  40 dkgs of flour (plain and whole wheat)
• 10 dkgs of caster sugar
• 10 dkg cold butter
• 1 packet of instant yeast
• half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1-1,5 dls of milk approx. 

 The filling:

• 6 big Granny Smith apples and the same amount of smaller red apples
• liquid sweetener
• zest and juice of one lemon
• a handful of raisins
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• quarter of a teaspoon of ground clove

Measure the flour for the dough and mix it with the sugar, the yeast and the cinnamon. Get the butter and crumble it with the flour mixture. Then put the whole mixture into a bread machine and start kneading it, gradually adding the milk. You have to get a flexible and non-sticky dough as a result. You don't have to wait until it rises, the yeast will do its thing in the oven when you bake it. Let it rest while you prepare the filling.

Peel the apples and grate them. Then you have to squeeze the juice out of the grated apple. Providing that you use a clean bowl and your hands are also clean, don't even think about throwing the juice out, you can filter it and then you have a pure, truly 100% fruit content apple juice :) Then put the apple in a saucer pan and add the lemon juice, the zest, the raisins and the spices. Add the sweetener as well. You only have to cook it until it becomes soft which takes about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool down and then taste it, add some more lemon or sweetener if needed.

Then you can just put the cake together. If you want to put the emphasis on the cake part, you can bake a layer of crust beforehand and place it between two layers of apple filling. If you have some leftover dough you can decorate the top of the cake with it, just don't forget to eggwash the joining surfaces. Also when you are done with the decorating, give an eggwash to the whole top of the cake. Bake it in the oven at 190 deg Celsius until golden on the top.
