INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:
- If you add this flour, it will make a proper shape for your dessert. Here, you will make the base and the top layer of this recipe from it. Your slices will not break from adding it as well. Use whole wheat flour as another choice as well.
SUGAR:
- Add sugar to your dessert to include sweetness to the apple filling and dough as well. Another idea can be brown sugar for your recipe, too.
BAKING POWDER:
- You will use baking powder in your dough mix so that it gets soft. This will also help your dough rise in the oven.
VEGETABLE OIL:
- We need vegetable oil to include moisture in the dough of your dessert. Also, this oil will help keep your dough softer. For an alternative idea, add melted coconut oil.
VEGAN MILK:
- Here, you will use milk to make the dough smoother. You will add any plant milk for this vegan recipe. It also mixes your dessert dough easily.
APPLES:
- Add apples to your recipe, because these are the basic ingredients. You will get a sweet flavor from using them. Apples will also become soft in the filling when you bake your dessert. Pears are a substitution option for you as well.
CINNAMON:
- Cinnamon will give your dessert a bakery-style taste. You may also use nutmeg for this purpose if you need an alternative option.
LEMON JUICE:
- Lemon juice is an important ingredient for your apple filling. It will prevent your apple slices from getting a brown color. Also, lemon juice will make your dessert fresh. Add apple cider vinegar if you need something else.
POWDERED SUGAR FOR GLAZE:
- You will use powdered sugar in your glaze mix, so it gives a smooth topping. Glaze syrup can also work for this purpose here.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, heat your oven to 180°C.
- Then you will take a bowl and add all the items for the dough to it.
- Mix them till you make a soft dough.
- Now you will apply some oil to your baking dish.
- Then take half the dough and press it into the dish evenly.
- Now take another bowl to mix the apple filling ingredients to toss.
- Add the apple filling to the dough in your baking dish.
- Next, take the 2nd half of the dough and add it over the apples.
- Bake the dessert for 40 minutes so the top looks golden.
- Then you will wait for it to cool entirely.
- Now, make the mixture of the glaze ingredients and pour it on the cool dessert.
