My mom's Doppeldecker (Apple squares) recipe


This is the best pie I have aver had.

You need for the dough:

600g flour
250g sugar
250g margarine
1-2 eggs
1 1/4 packets (15g) of baking powder
1 packet of vanilla sugar (in the US just use liquid vanilla flavor)
1.5 dl milk
1 pintch salt

Combine margarine and flour and mix. Then all other ingredients. Let dough rest for 2hrs.

Filling

8-10 apples peel and grate into small pieces
1 egg
1 cup of sugar ---> hey this is a swuss cup, so use 1/2 american cup :)
2 tbsp of bread crumbs ("Paniermehl")
cinnamon
2 tbsp finely grated nuts


Then take half of the dough and roll it out in a large black baking sheet. Layer filling over the top.
Then the tricky part:
Roll out the second part of the dough on a kitchen towel with lots of flour on it. Once rolled out to the same size of
the other layer (the one that sits under the apple layer) put some more flour over the just rolled out dough and roll it up.
Transfer the layer over to the pie and roll it out again. Voila.
You have one layer dough, one layer apple and again one layer dough lid.

Punch some venting holes with a fork. This used to be my favorite part as child!

Bake for 25 min at 200C
