The secret to juiciness is in kefir! This apple pie is even tastier and juicier than a charlotte.

Premiered 5 hours ago
🍎 A fluffy apple pie with a delicate curd lattice topping.
Pan: 20.5 x 32 cm (bottom), 6 cm (height).
The pie is large, tall, very tender, porous, and juicy.
🥧 For the dough:
🥚 Eggs — 5
🍚 Sugar — 180 g (about 8-9 tbsp)
🌼 Vanilla sugar — 10 g (2 tsp)
🧂 Salt — ¼ tsp.
🥛 Kefir 2.5 - 200 g
🧈 Butter - 90 g
🌻 Odorless vegetable oil - 40 ml (3 tbsp)
🌾 Flour - 340 g (approximately 21-22 heaping tbsp; best weighed)
🥄 Baking powder - 14 g (approximately 3 tsp)
🍋 Lemon zest - 1 tsp, optional

🤍 For the cottage cheese lattice:
🥣 Cottage cheese 5-9% - 450 g
🥚 Egg - 1 pc.
🍚 Powdered sugar — 70 g (approximately 3-4 heaping tablespoons)
🥛 Sour cream 15-20% — 50 g (approximately 2.5 tablespoons)
🌽 Cornstarch — 15-20 g (approximately 1.5-2 level tablespoons)
🌼 Vanilla sugar — 8-10 g (about 2 teaspoons)
🧂 Salt — a pinch

*If you don't want to use butter: instead of 90 g butter + 40 ml vegetable oil, use 100-105 ml odorless vegetable oil (approximately 7 tablespoons)

🔥 Baking is important!
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C, top-bottom setting, on a rack slightly below the middle. For such a large and very moist pie, the recommended baking time is 60-70 minutes, but ovens vary, so be sure to monitor the doneness.
After about 50-55 minutes, check the pie. If the top is nicely browned, cover it loosely with foil and continue baking.
The pie contains kefir, lots of apples, and cottage cheese, so it should remain moist and juicy inside. Don't wait for a skewer to be completely dry.
Use a wooden skewer to test a section of the dough, being careful not to get it into the apple or cottage cheese. There shouldn't be any raw batter, but a few moist, soft crumbs are normal.
🌡️ If you have a kitchen thermometer, a good guide for doneness is approximately 92-95°C (205-208°F) in the center of the dough portion of the pie.
