Apple-Crumble Pie
some apples
some potato or corn flower
150 g/1,5 dl butter
200 g/3 dl flour (I usually mix wheat and dinkel)
200 g/ 3 dl sugar (brown or white, whatever you prefer)
100 g/1,5 dl nuts (best is almonds and/or hazelnuts)
1 egg
a pinch of cinnamon
1) Base: Mix 50 g/0,5 dl of the butter (really smooth), half the flour, half the sugar and the egg and shape the dough into a dish (should be one finger thick, left over dough could be frozen and used another time).
2) Filling: Cut some apples into pieces and put them on top of the dough (as many fruits as the base is covered). Sift some potato or corn flower of the fruits (to make them less liquid).
3) Crumble: Mix the rest of the flour and sugar with the nuts and some cinnamon. Melt the rest of the butter and pour it slowly over the mixture and make little crumbs. Bake in preheated oven with medium heat for around 25 minutes (baking time depends, so check regularly).
NB! Use any fruit or combinations of fruit that you like. Blackberries with torn-up rose leaves or rhubarb are delicious!
