I veganized Nyergesi Mama’s recipe as my husband asked me to bake him almas pite. He was just discharged from hospital, and I guess he was missing his grandma.
Am glad it didn’t disappoint him. In other words, success!
Skin, makes 2:
Soak 1 tbsp ground flaxseed in 3 tbsp water, let stand for 5 mins
Meanwhile, heat 100 ml almond milk in microwave for 50 seconds (til lukewarm, not hot)
Dissolve 1 tbsp sugar into milk, then sprinkle 10 g active dry yeast, let stand 5 mins (til bloomed)
In a large bowl, mix and knead:
400 g flour
2 tbsp sugar
Flax egg
Yeast mixture
140 g vegan margarine
10 g vegetable shortening
Let rest, and prepare filling
Peel 1 kg apples and grate
Mix grated apples with 1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp lemon juice
3-5 tbsp sugar
Let’s work on the skin now. Divide dough into two equal portions
Preheat oven 350 F
Line a rectangular pan with aluminum foil, set aside
Roll one portion of dough and lay it on prepared pan
Squeeze water of apple mixture and spread them evenly on the dough
Roll the other dough and lay it ontop of apple filling
