54 minute baking program.

Dough

• 300 g white pastry flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 200 g butter
• 100 g sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar (1 Tbsp)
• 1 large egg 
• butter for greasing the pan

Filling

• 1250 g apple
• 50 g raisins
• 50 g sugar
• 10 mL Calvados
• juice of one lemon
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Icing

• 100 g powdered sugar
• water

Recipe

1. Combine flour, baking powder, butter, sugar, salt, vanilla sugar, and the egg, and knead into a smooth dough. Let rest in the fridge until cooled through.
2. Divide the dough into thirds. Roll out one third and press into the bottom of a greased 10" springform pan.
3. Roll out the second third of dough into a log, and press into the side of the springform so that it forms a 3 cm/1" rim up the sides of the pan. Use a fork to press grooves into the edge.
4. Peel and core the apples, then cut into 1-2 cm (~1/2") pieces. Combine with the raisins, sugar, Calvados, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Scoop into the pastry-lined pan.
5. Roll out the last third of dough and place it over the apples. Pinch the edges to seal. Slash several times with a knife to allow steam to escape.
6. Bake according to Baking Program
7. Allow to cool. Combine powdered sugar with enough water to make a pour-able icing. Drizzle over the top of the pie.

Notes

I was not able to find Calvados, so I used American apple brandy. See this post on vanilla sugar if you need help finding/making that ingredient.
