Ingredients
  • 80 g (1/3 cup or 2.8 oz) cane sugar

  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 egg

  • 350 g (2 cups + 3 Tbsp + 1 tsp or 12.3 oz) all-purpose flour, sifted

  6. Take ¾ of your crumbly dough and place it on the bottom of the pan. Using a spoon, spread it and compact it, forming a crust.
  7. Pour your apple mixture on top. Top with the rest of your dough crumbles.
  8. Bake for about 35 min or until golden brown. Enjoy warm or cold!
