Ingredients
For the crust:
- 7 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 7 tablespoon water
- 11 tablespoon plain flour
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of sodium
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Separately, 7 tablespoon oil will be mixed with 7 tablespoon flour
For the filling:
- 6 large apples
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon vanilla sugar
- 2 tablespoon semolina
Instructions
- To make the crust, mix the oil, water and flour in a large bowl.
- In a cup, add the bicarbonate of sodium with the lemon juice and mix well.
- Add the mixture to the bowl, together with the vanilla extract.
- Separately, mix together the 7 tablespoon of oil and flour, and add it to the rest of the ingredients.
- Knead the dough well for about 5 minutes, this should be elastic and should not stick to the bowl at all.
- Shape it into a ball, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.
- To make the filling, peel and grate the apples, and add them to a pan together with the cinnamon and vanilla sugar.
- Leave to cook on a low to medium heat until all the juice has been absorbed and the apples have turned into a brown colour.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
- Roll out the dough and cut 4 circles to cover to bottom of 4 tartlet dishes. Sprinkle semolina all over the bottom dough layer, add a layer of apple filling, sprinkle some more semolina.
- For the top layer, cut the dough into thick strips and arrange them one vertically, one horizontally.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees C (390 degrees Fahrenheit) until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. You may sprinkle some powdered sugar on top, but that's totally optional.
