I love having friends with gardens. What’s even better than that, is having friends with gardens that have fruit-bearing trees in …

Ingredients

• 1 package fresh yeast about {20g}
• 1 cup milk {250ml}, luke warm
• 4 cups flour {500g}
• 1/3 cup sugar {75g}
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup flour {100g}
• some vanilla
• 1/3 cup margarine {75g}
• 2 1/4 pounds apples {1kg}

Instructions

1. Mix the yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar and 5 tablespoons of lukewarm milk.
2. Sieve 2/3rds of the flour into a large bowl, make a well in the center and fill with the yeast-mixture.
3. Pour the sugar, salt and oil in a circle around the yeast.
4. Start mixing from the center and add milk little by little.
5. Pour the rest of the flour in the dough. The dough needs to be soft but not sticky.
6. Cover with a clean and moist kitchen towel. Let sit in a warm place (we used the oven at 125°F/50°C) for about 20–40 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
7. While the dough is rising, peel the apples, remove the core and cut into thin slices.
8. Knead the dough and roll out on floured surface and place on a greased baking sheet or two tart pans.
9. Top with the apple slices, starting along the edge, moving inwards and pieces slightly overlapping. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
10. In the meantime, make the streusel by mixing the flour, sugar, vanilla and margarine by hand until you have a crumbly texture. You might have to add some more flour to get the right texture.
11. Sprinkle the streusel over the cake.
12. Bake at 350°F/180°C (in preheated oven) for about 40 minutes or until golden brown.
