Method

6 soļi
  1. Heat the oven to 190 °C (170 °C fan) and put a baking sheet on the lowest shelf to heat.
  2. Roll out the pastry 3–4 mm thick and line a 24 cm pie dish or deep tart tin. Crimp or flute the edge.
  3. Peel and core the apples, removing all the pips and core, and slice them thinly.
  4. Lay a layer of apples in the pastry case, then a layer of breadcrumbs, a sprinkling of sugar and a few slivers of butter. Repeat until the case is full, finishing with breadcrumbs, sugar and butter. Press down lightly; the apples sink as they cook.
  5. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Set the dish on the hot baking sheet and bake for 50–60 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and golden, the top brown and the apples tender when tested with a skewer. Cover the top loosely with foil if it browns too fast.
  6. Leave to settle for 15 minutes. Serve warm, with cream if you like.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

a good amount of white bread grated, apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced, sugar pounded fine and butter cut into thin pieces; a pastry case with a decorated edge made of butter pastry in a baking pan (raušu panna), filled with layers of apples, bread, sugar and butter until full, with bread, sugar and butter on top, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon and baked with coals above and below. The amounts, the oven temperature and the times are ours.

Pastry

the book doesn't say which butter pastry; puff pastry or a rich shortcrust both work. The hot baking sheet keeps the base crisp, as the coals under the pan did.

Variation (the book's "another way"): lay toasted slices of white bread in a mould; beat 8 or 12 eggs, but use only the whites of 4 of them, with grated bread, melted butter, sweet cream and raisins; whisk the whites to snow and fold them in last; pour everything over the toast and bake. For 6: butter a 1.5 l dish and cover the bottom with 6 slices of toasted white bread. Whisk 3 whole eggs with 50 g fresh breadcrumbs, 40 g melted butter, 250 ml single cream, 60 g raisins and 2 tbsp sugar (our addition). Whisk 3 egg whites to soft snow and fold them in. Pour over the toast and bake at 180 °C (160 °C fan) for 30–35 minutes, until puffed, set and golden.

In a dish

the book says it can also be baked in a dish buttered and strewn with breadcrumbs, set on a layer of salt or sand in the tart pan over coals so the bottom doesn't burn. In a modern oven the dish needs no protection.
