Preparation

How to prepare Apple Heart Cake

To prepare the apple heart cake, pour the cubed butter, sugar 1, salt 2, and lemon zest 3 into a bowl.

Knead to form a dough ball 4, then add the egg 5 and mix again to incorporate it 6.

Now add the flour 7 and baking powder 8, mix to form a homogeneous dough 9.

Form a dough ball 10, wrap it with plastic wrap 11, and leave it in the refrigerator for an hour. Now cut the apples in half 12, then peel them and remove the core.

Cut them into cubes 13. In a separate bowl, mix the flour 14 and cornstarch 15.

Mix the powders and apples 16. In another bowl, pour the butter, sugar 17, and salt 18.

The eggs, vanilla bean pulp 19, and beat with an electric mixer 20 to obtain a homogeneous mixture 21.

Combine this mixture with the apple mixture 22, mix and set aside 23. Take the shortcrust pastry and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch 24.

Roll the pastry sheet onto the rolling pin and unroll it over a 9 1/2-inch diameter mold. Remove the excess dough by trimming the edges with a knife 25. Pour the filling inside and level it with the back of a spoon 26. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 35-40 minutes.
