Happy to Cook: Crumb Cake

For the dough 500 grams of flour, 1 packet of yeast, 200 grams of butter or margarine, 200 grams of sugar, 1 egg and lemon zest. Shopping For the filling and icing sugar 2 apples. Leave the butter or margarine at room temperature to soften.

In a bowl beat together with sugar, when integrated is added the egg and lemon zest and beat again. I usually do manually with a fork or hand rods. Mix flour with baking powder and gradually add to mixture beating. At the end, I will keep beating very hard at hand, it's time to dump on our work table and knead dough until smooth.

I recommend not add much flour to the desk, if you are not very lumpy mass. I usually work as much as possible into the bowl and then finalizing on the table. The mass was divided into two equal halves. With one of them we will prepare the crust within a mold, it is one with butter to then unmold.

To avoid dust it with flour to stretch with the roller, is gathering pieces of dough as if they were clay and with clean hands Chafer and are placed in the bottom of the pan to coat. After rollers are ground or worms and put on the edge of pan to have depth to place the filling. Peel the apples, cut into four pieces, the heart is removed and laminated.

Are placed on the mass base as if it were an apple pie, but will more than one layer, then sprinkle with sugar. Now comes the fun part to cover the remaining half of dough, picking bits are balls that are dropped over the block, so jump and cover almost everything, even if there are gaps, such as mass grow, nothing happens because taparán.

This gives a very rustic. Place in the oven at 160 º C, depends on the oven at high average height and left about 30 minutes. Shut down and put the grill 5 minutes, lowering the position of the pie pan, to brown a little.
