Ingredients
175 g butter
100 g powdered sugar
50 g eggs (1 egg)
25 g honey
½ lemon grated rind
½ vanilla bean
2 g salt
250 g superfine flour
3 g yeast
1000 g peeled apples
Method
Place butter, sugar and honey in a planetary mixer and blend
homogenously without whipping. Add in the spices (vanilla and
lemon), eggs salt and cream; when the buttery mass is smooth,
add-in the flour and the baking powder previously sifted, and
process up to total absorption of the flour. Remove the shortcrust
from the fridge, work it for a while by hand in order to make it
softer, then roll it out with the rolling pin down to a thickness
of 5 mm, using a little flour for dusting. Cut two discs with the
ring. Put the first disc on the baking matt. With the second disk,
make a 2 cm ring of shortcrust and lean it on the first disc in
order to create a border. Decorate with the marisa and fill the
inner part with slices of peeled apples. Sprinkle the whole
surface with granulated sugar. Bake at 170 °C for about 30
minutes. Before serving, dust with powdered vanilla sugar and
decorate with sugar-free whipped cream.
