PITA OD JABUKA / APPLE PIE

Pita od jabuka

Ovo mi je jedan od najdražih bakinih recepata. Veoma je jednostavan; nešto jabuka, zdrave ruke za umijesiti tijesto, malo ribanja i to je to. Pošto sam odrasla na selu, uvijek smo imali mnoštvo jabuka tako da je pita od jabuka bila nezaobilazna na našem jelovniku. Moja ju je baka često znala praviti, ali pošto nije više u mogućnosti, to je preuzela moja mama. Ona koristi isti recept i jednako je dobro peče, ali mi je pita nekako bila slađa kad mi ju je pravila baka. Bake imaju taj neki čar. To i objašnjava zašto je uvijek zovem " Bakina pita od jabuka".

Apple pie

This is one of my grandma’s favorite recipes. It is quite simple; some apples, a good pair of hands for kneading and some grating is just about it. Since I was raised in the country, we always had plenty of apples and apple pie was a sort of a staple on our menu. My grandma used to bake it very often, but since she is no longer able to do so, my Mum took over. She uses the same recipe and bakes it just as good, but it somehow tasted sweeter coming from the hands of my grandma. I guess that is the way grandmas do. It also explains why I always refer to it as “Grandma’s apple pie”.

INGREDIENTS:

4 eggs

1 cup lard

20 dkg sugar

1 baking powder

60 dkg flour

½ kg apples

DIRECTIONS

Mix together eggs, lard, 10 dkg sugar, baking powder and flour. Form dough into a flat substance and divide it into 2 parts. Place the first part of the dough in the baking dish. Peel and grate the apples, add 10 dkg sugar, and place them on top of the dough.

Place the second part of the dough over the apples.

Bake at 200 C (392 F) for half an hour.
