Golden October Apple Pies or Why I Hate to Leave My House at Six.
“Why do musicians get up at 6?” – “Coz the shops are closing at 7!” - ok, German humour, you got me. And: I’m not a musician anyway. But man, I hate getting up at 6. 6 in the morning that is. But most of all, I hate leaving the house at 6.
When I got to leave the house at 6am, rushing to the airport, leaving my warm bed behind, I hate my job. My kids are rubbing their eyes to tired to say good bye, the bags to carry downstairs were less many and less heavy last night, when I packed, and the coffe boils to slow to be ready in time. I will have to make this one a Starbucks morning. – I hate leaving the house at 6am.
Today, I got to leave only at 6:30! Joy. It does give me some time to think about a lovely weekend, golden October days and the apple pie we made from the windfall apples my friend Margarete brought me.
I take
- 300g full grain wheat flour, pour it in a bowl, put than
- 125g sugar in the middle, add
- 1 egg on top of the sugar
- 200g ice cold butter go in bits as tiny as possible on the flour around sugar and egg.
Than I knead and, once ready, put the dough wrapped in something letting it not drie out fridge. Meantime, I peel and cut
- about 1kg apples, Boskop are great or any other sour apple. When the apples are to sweet, I add the juice of
- 1 lemon. I also love
- lemon zest
- a tiny bit of nutmeg and
- cinnamon on my cake. Most people take
- raisins as well and some add a little
- rhum
Now 30 minutes should be over. I take the dough out of the fridge, squish it wit my hands flat in a baking dish (flat, large) and keep some dough to decorate the top later. To avoid the bottom getting all soggy, I add
- breadcrumbs
- on top of the dough. Speread them, pour the left overs not sticking to the bottom out. Apples on top of breadcrumbed dough, left over dough on top of apples.
- Milk and
- 1 beaten egg
on top of the decoration does all the magic. Off in the oven you go, 50-55 minutes, 180 degrees Celsius in the preheated oven. Non-metric values and Farenheit to follow tonight, I gotta run leave the house!! – Fell free to do the service and add non-metric and Farenheit in the comments! Thanks! Bye!
Please don’t leave me out of the feast!
You’re most welcome to join!
I know…it’s more the inability to snug in for a bit longer…not really the getting up wart that bothers me…

Leider gibt es ja keine Duft-Fotografie…Apfelkuchen klassisch aber vegan würde mich auch interessieren – wenn Du Geheimnisse teilen magst
Gerade habe ich entdeckt, was Du nicht aus Äpfeln sondern aus Papier zauberst…tolle Collagen auf Deiner Seite!
S.
ja, duft-fotografie, das wär’s….
ein klassisches apfelkuchen-rezept habe ich in diesem kochbuch gefunden: http://www.hugendubel.de/blog/vegan-lecker-lecker-marc-pierschel/
schon oft erprobt und für gut befunden.
freut mich sehr, dass dir die collagen gefallen! ich gebe übrigens seit 2011 zusammen mit meiner schwester (wir sind ein diy-projekt namens THEO) in eigenregie einen taschenkalender heraus. dort erscheinen auch collagen von mir.
wenn es dich interessiert, schau gerne mal auf unserem blog vorbei: http://theobeam.wordpress.com
dort gibt es seit heute auch ein paar bilder vom laufenden arbeitsprozess zu sehen

Danke! Heading over
I just LOVE your photo stile <3
Thank you so much, Irena! – In this case, it was the combination of a pretty old lens and the low evening light, that hit straight in to this lens. Lovely to meet you and thanks for stopping by! I enjoyed your blog
Thanks. If it is not a world secret, what kind of lens do you use? If they are old doesn’t mean they are not great! btw I am lens freak too
Nice to meet you too and keep posting
Mostly I use a Canon 24-70 2.8 and a 70-200 2.8 for shooting movies. For stills I often use a crappy “came with the body” Nikon zoom (30-55?! 3.5-5.6?! the focus ring broke off now, so I packed it somewhere I can not remember…) and a Tamron 24-70 2.8.
I also use a lens baby here and there, in photography mostly with its pinhole inlay for pinhole photography (on my hatephotoshop.wordpress.com you can find in the archive an entire section pinhole – or search here for the term “pinhole” in the search field if you’d like to see the pinhole effect).
We’ll all be old and hopefully amazing one day
To be honest I expected everything but not Canon
You are very well equipped. I love my new Nikkor 35mm f1.8 
and I am obsessed with natural lights (I know, beginners 
)
Thank you for your explanation about that pinhole camera things before. Now I miss my dad’s old Practica
