Ingredients
Pear-Apple Pie
- For the dough
- 500 grams Pastry flour
- 200 grams sugar
- 2 eggs
- untreated lemons (zested)
- 300 grams butter
- 1 pinch salt
- For the topping
- 700 grams Apple
- 700 grams Pear
- lemons (juiced)
- 40 grams ground almonds
- 3 Tbsps sugar
- 1 packet Vanilla sugar
- 3 Tbsps Apricot jam
- 20 grams chopped Pistachio
For the dough, mix together flour, sugar, eggs, salt, lemon zest and softened butter. Knead into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. For the topping, rinse apples and pears, peel, quarter and remove seeds. Cut into wedges. Immediately sprinkle with lemon juice.
Place 2/3 of the dough between two sheets of foil. Roll out into a rectangle of 35 x 40 cm (approximately 14 x 16 inches). Place on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with ground almonds. Distribute apples and pears on the dough. Mix sugar and vanilla sugar together and sprinkle over fruit. Roll remaining dough 1/2 cm (approximately 1/4 inch) thick and cut into 1.5 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) wide strips.
Top fruit with dough strips in a lattice pattern. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°F (approximately 400°F) for 40 minutes. Simmer apricot jam in a small pot over low heat, strain through a sieve and brush the cake with the melted jam. Sprinkle pistachios over the top, cut cake into pieces and serve.
