Ingredients for - Layer apple cake
How to cook deliciously - Layer apple cake
1. Stage
Here are our products. We defrost the dough beforehand, I had it in the fridge overnight and it defrosted perfectly. I used yeast puff pastry, but you can also use yeast-free pastry, but for my taste it makes the pastry not soft and airy enough, but rather dry.
2. Stage
Peel the apples and grate them on a coarse grater.
3. Stage
Divide the dough into four equal rectangular pieces, and roll out each one thinly on a floured surface.
4. Stage
We take one layer of dough, put half of the grated apples on it, I squeezed them a little to avoid excessive juice. Sprinkle with sugar, depending on your taste and the sweetness of the apples, I had about 1 tablespoon of sugar for 1 layer. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Repeat the previous two steps with the remaining ingredients for the cakes. Place our two envelopes on a greased baking sheet with the pieces of dough left over from the smoothing of the crusts.
7. Stage
Bake in a preheated 180° oven for about 20 minutes.
8. Stage
Now let's make the cream. Mix the yolks with the sugar, vanilla and flour, beat with a whisk.
9. Stage
We boil milk, then combine it with the yolk mass.
10. Stage
Over low heat, cook our mixture until it thickens, the finished cream has the consistency of thick semolina. Remove from the stove and cool to room temperature.
11. Stage
Let's go back to our cakes, or rather scraps of them) shred them into crumbs any way you want, I did it in a blender.
12. Stage
When the cakes and cream have cooled, proceed to assemble the cake. It is better to assemble the cake on a flat surface or in a container suitable for the shape and size of the cakes (plastic container, metal tray, deep dish for baking, etc.). In my case, unfortunately, the cakes did not fit into any such container, so I assembled the cake on a tray lined with foil. So, we take one cake and generously smear it with cream. The key word here is "generously", because I spared the cream, and as a result, I still had some, and it was not enough in the cake. Put the second layer of cream on top of the cake and spread cream on all sides. Then we sprinkle our cake with the crumb from the remaining cakes.
13. Stage
The assembled cake is sent to the refrigerator for a few hours, the longer it will stand there, the better it will soak in and be more tender.
14. Stage
I kept the cake in the fridge for a couple of hours, and then it went straight to my house on a tray, clad in a baking sleeve. It drove another couple of hours in the car in a heat pack next door to the ice cream. After the trip, he looked great.
15. Stage
This is how the cake turns out in the cut. Delicious, quick and easy! Bon appetit!
