Ingredients

Instructions

1. Grate the chilled butter (about 130 g) coarsely, then quickly rub it into the flour with the powdered sugar and baking powder until you have a short pastry dough.
2. Divide the dough, cutting off about one third, and chill it in the freezer for at least an hour.
3. In a pan, pour in half a glass of water, squeeze in the juice of one lemon (or two smaller ones) and rub the lemon gently to release its juice.
4. Add most of the apples, keeping one third aside, and cook them for about 15 to 20 minutes until soft.
5. Add sugar, cinnamon to taste, the vanilla seeds scraped from the pod and a little butter to the cooked apples, stirring until fragrant.
6. Grate the larger portion of the chilled dough and bake it in a greased tin at 190°C for about 10 minutes, until the base is set and lightly golden at the edges.
7. Sprinkle the base lightly with breadcrumbs, spread the cooked apples evenly over it, then grate the remaining dough over the top.
8. Bake at 190°C for about half an hour, until golden.
9. Let it cool slightly before cutting, then dust with powdered sugar.
