Cocoa and Gingerbread Apple Pie

Polish Version

This cocoa apple pie with gingerbread spice is just another version of cinnamon and honey apple pie with bees. It also has a delicious smell, especially when you eat it when it`s heated up with cooled and thick sour cream aside. This is my favorite cake ever! And which version do you prefer: honey `n cinnamon or cocoa `n gingerbread? :)

Ingredients for the cocoa-gingerbread cake:

• 4 tablespoons of thick sour cream 12%
• 1 / 2 cup of sugar
• 8g of vanilla sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons of gingerbread spice
• 3 tbsp of cocoa
• 500g of plain flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

Connect everything together on a smooth, slightly sticky dough. Half of it lay on the bottom of your baking tin.

Ingredients to prepare apples for this apple pie:

• 10 apples
• 2 tablespoonsof  honey
• 1 / 2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon of gingerbread spice
• 2 tablespoons of sugar

Wash apples, peel and cut into arbitrary pieces. In a bowl mix together chopped apples, honey, cinnamon, gingerbread spice and sugar. Now, put all this stuff on a bottom of your unbaked cake and after that coat it with the rest of the dough (You can use a small part of the dough for making some stars with cookie cutters for the top of cakes).

Ingredients for the top:

• 1 egg white
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 / 2 teaspoon of cinnamon

Mix egg whites with a fork. Brush the top of the dough with it. Now, mix sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle it on the cake. Bake for about 40 minutes at 180C.

Suggestions: You can mix apples with pears and ginger instead of gingerbread spice - it will be nice fall combination!

Light version: Do not add sugar to the filling of apples and sweet sprinkles on the top.
