Apple streusel cake

Ingredients

• 250 g of flour (T45)
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 125 grams of sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• The grated zest of a lemon
• A few drops of butter-vanilla flavouring
• 1 egg
• 125 g of butter or margarine
• 1.5 kg of tart apples
• 75 grams of sugar
• Lemon juice
• A few drops of butter-vanilla flavouring
• 125 g of grapes (optional)
• 75 g of butter
• 125 g of flour
• 60 grams of sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Peel the apples, cut them into small pieces, and toss them with lemon juice.

Cook them for 10 to 15 minutes with the sugar and flavoring, ensuring that the pieces remain intact.

For the dough, combine the flour and yeast and pour them onto a clean work surface in a mound shape.

Place the sugar, vanilla sugar, zest, flavoring, and egg in the center, and scatter the butter in small pieces around the edges.

At the mixing stage, first combine the egg and sugar, then gradually add the flour and butter.

Knead by hand until a smooth dough is formed.

Spread two-thirds of the dough on the bottom of a springform pan, and the remaining third on the sides.

For the streusel topping, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until the flour is absorbed and small crumbs form.

Pour the apples into the mold (mixed with grapes if you wish), and distribute them evenly.

If necessary, use a spatula to level the dough edge to the height of the apples.

Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the entire surface: the smaller the pieces, the better.

Bake for approximately 45 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 °C, until the streusel topping is golden brown.
