Kefir apple pie is a simple and tasty pastry that does not require any special products, culinary supermaster, time and effort. Just a few components - and the dough is ready, it remains to add the filling to it.

The nuances of making the perfect pie

Before you try to bake a dessert, it will not be amiss to find out what you need in order to make it perfect. Such delicacies of the hostess have been baked not for the first ten, or even for the first hundred years. Therefore, from our own experience we have learned several rules, compliance with which helps to achieve the desired result.

What loves apple pie

  1. Products from flour are never put in a cold oven: it must be preheated.
  2. Baking an apple pie is best without heating the oven to the maximum. The optimal level for such a dessert is 180-190 C. With it, the dough is completely baked, does not burn, gets rid of excess moisture. Fruit juice remains inside the pie.
  3. If you touch apples with a mixture of cane and brown sugar, they will get an unusual pleasant aftertaste.
  4. The test doesn’t care what kind of fat kefir you will use. In addition, it can always be replaced - with sour milk or fermented baked milk.
  5. Kefir (like other similar product) contains acid. So no need to quench soda with vinegar.
  6. To prevent the top of the cake from burning during the baking process, place it on the lowest tier or cover the top with foil.
  7. Apples will not settle and frown, and a hole will not appear in the risen dough if you warm them a little before adding them to the dough.

How not to make a mistake with the choice of apples?

Experienced housewives are advised to use two varieties of fruit. This will provide a bright aroma and a richer flavor.But the conventional wisdom that any kind of apples will go for baking is wrong. Perfect apple pie will only be with winter varieties - hard, juicy, sour: they emphasize the taste of sweet dough.

You can use, for example:

  • "Athlete";
  • "Simirenko";
  • "Jonathan";
  • "Mac";
  • "Antonovka" (many recognize this variety as an ideal option);
  • “Ranet Simirenko”;
  • "Winter lemon."

  2. We send kefir, vanilla, granulated sugar to the company for a dairy product, drive eggs into the same place. All this needs to be whipped. You can use a whisk, or take a mixer as an assistant.
  3. Then comes the turn of soda. Next comes the flour. We fill it up slowly, without ceasing to beat the mass. As a result, the dough should be liquid, like thick sour cream, homogeneous, without a single lump, consistency.
  4. While the base is resting, we are doing the filling. Thinly cut apples, sprinkle with sugar.

  2. ½ cup flour in a separate bowl, mix with baking powder. And instantly use - a slow stream is introduced into the liquid mass, without stopping to work with a whisk. If you take time, the dry mixture will lose the qualities necessary for baking. If necessary, add flour until the dough becomes like sour cream. By the way, you can immediately send spices to it.
  3. Pour fruit slices with dough, and send the “semi-finished product” form to the oven.
