Required Ingredients:

• 300 g self-raising wheat flour
• 250 g demerara sugar (grind in a blender)
• 4 apples (red or green), for that special touch
• 100 g of raisins, adding a unique flavor
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder, for that unmistakable aroma
• 3 eggs, to give structure and softness
• 1 tablespoon of sugar, for the eggs
• 120 g butter, for moisture and flavor

Step by Step to Success:

1. Mixing the Dry:

• In a bowl, mix the flour and 250 g of sugar. Set aside this mixture, as it will be the key to the perfect texture of our pie.

2. Preparing the Apples:

• Peel and cut the apples into slices. Then mix them in a bowl with the raisins and cinnamon. This combination will ensure that every bite is packed with flavor.

3. The Eggs:

• In another container, vigorously beat the eggs with a tablespoon of sugar for 3 minutes. This process is essential to incorporate air and lightness into the pie.

4. Preparing the Oven and Pan:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC and grease the chosen pan. This will prevent the pie from sticking, making it easier to unmold.

5. Assembling the Pie:

• Distribute the apple slices evenly across the greased pan. It is crucial that they are well accommodated so that the pie cooks evenly.
• Spread the flour and sugar mixture over the apples, making sure to completely cover the surface.
• Drizzle with the melted butter and, finally, add the egg mixture, moistening all the dry corners well.

6. Bake Time:

• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. After baking, let the pie cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before removing it from the mold.
