50g icing sugar


For the filling:
80g raisins
800g apples, cut into thin cubes

Directions:


1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Fold in cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.


2. Add an egg yolk and mix until it becomes smooth and soft.

5. Mix apples with raisins, cinnamon and icing sugar. 


6. Sprinkle 50g of icing sugar over the batter and pour mixed apples on top.
