Ingredients:
It was another rainy cold dark Sunday in Switzerland, perfect to bake some yummy pie for the office!
This is supposed to be a French style apple pie, although I don't know its French name. I got the recipe by browsing German recipe sites and they all call it "Apple pie a la Bretagne" There are many French apple pie recipes all over the internet, so it might very well be a true French recipe! After all it has Calvados in it. It's a very moist and not overly sweet or heavy cake with a lot of apple flavor, and it is super simple to prepare.
French Apple Pie
150g ****er (3/4 cup)
4 eggs
About 1 Tbsp vanilla sugar
1 pinch salt
1 pinch baking powder
150g flour (roughly 1 1/2 cups)
150g sugar (white or brown) (about 1 1/3 cups)
500g apples (a sweet sort, I picked Golden Delicious apples) (Roughly 1 lb of apples)
some powdered sugar
2cl (about 4 teaspoons) Calvados (or Apple Brandy. You can leave out the Calvados if you don't have any).
