Semolina Pie with Apples

Ingredients

Sugar - 1 cup
Semolina - 1 cup
Honey - 2 tablespoons
Apple - 2 lbs
Cinnamon - to taste
20% Sour Cream - 5.3 oz
Butter - 3.5 oz
Baking Powder - 2 teaspoons
Wheat Flour - 1 cup

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Wash the apples; peel and core them. Grate on a coarse grater. Add honey and cinnamon; mix well (you can sprinkle with lemon juice or strong hibiscus tea to prevent the apples from browning).

Step 2

Mix the flour, sugar, semolina, and baking powder.

Step 3

In a greased baking dish, layer: dry 'dough'/apples/'dough'/apples/.../'dough'. Layers about a finger to one and a half fingers thick are the most successful, in my opinion. Finish with a dry layer.

Step 4

Sprinkle grated butter on top.

Step 5

Bake at 180–392°F for about an hour.

Step 6

Brush the finished pie with thick sour cream and bake for another 15–20 minutes until a golden crust forms (I flip the pie for this — it results in a crispy buttery crust on the bottom and a tender sour cream 'glaze' on top).
