Cooking process:
- In a large bowl, break the eggs and add salt, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Whisk until the ingredients are completely dissolved.
- Pour the milk into the bowl and continue stirring vigorously. Then add the melted butter into the egg-milk mixture, stirring thoroughly with a whisk.
- Add the sifted flour and baking powder into the dough, stirring until a homogeneous mass without lumps is obtained. The dough should have a thick, silky texture and a creamy vanilla aroma.
- For the apples, choose a variety with a sweet and sour taste. Cut them in half, remove the core, and chop them into small cubes. Leave the peel on.
- Grease a baking dish with butter and arrange all the chopped apples on the bottom, distributing them evenly. Then pour the dough over the apples.
- Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes.
- To check if the pie is done, use a wooden skewer to pierce the dough. The skewer should come out clean.
- Once baked, allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. It can be served both hot and cold and pairs well with tea or coffee for breakfast.
Enjoy your delicious and tender apple pie – bon appétit!
