How to prepare exquisite apple and apricot pie
To prepare this delicious and easy Apple and Apricot Pie, we will need:
Ingredients
-150 g of dried apricots
-100 g of Blueberries
-50 ml of Brandy or liqueur
-80 g of Sugar
-1 tsp Cinnamon
-250 gr of Walnuts
-4 Apples
-3 tablespoons of cornstarch
For the cake
-4 Eggs
-A pinch of salt
-80 g of Sugar
-80 ml of Oil
-200 g of flour
-1 tsp baking powder (chemical yeast)
Procedure
- To begin, we will cut the dried apricots into small cubes. We will put them in a container, along with the dried cranberries and bathe them with the brandy or liqueur. We will let it rest.
- Meanwhile, we put the walnuts in a pan and sauté them. When they are ready, we remove them from the heat and chop them.
- We put them in a container with the sugar and cinnamon and mix very well to integrate everything. We reserve.
- On the other hand, we peel and cut the apples in half, then into very thin slices. We put them in a container, and then sprinkle them with the cornstarch. We mix and reserve.
For the cake
- In another container, for the cake we are going to place the eggs and a pinch of salt. We also add the sugar and vanilla essence. We beat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture foams well.
- Add the oil, flour and baking powder, both previously sifted. We beat very well to integrate these ingredients.
- We take a 20×20 mold or whatever size we have, butter it and flour it. We put only half of the mixture. We arrange it very well, covering the entire base of the mold.
- On top, we will put only half of the nut mixture that we had reserved. We will spread forming a layer.
- We will arrange, forming another layer, only half of the apple slices that we had prepared.
- We finished by putting the apricots and dried cranberries that we had soaking in the liquor. We spread over all the apples.
- Finally, we will pour the rest of the cake mixture, covering the previous layer very well. Be very careful when spreading the mixture, we must cover everything.
- On top, we will arrange the last layer of apple and finish by putting what was left of the walnuts.
- We put it in a preheated oven at about 170°C, for approximately 1 hour.
- After this time, we check with a toothpick that it is ready. We let it cool well and then unmold it, remember if we unmold it hot, we run the risk that it may stick to the mold and that is not the idea.
- Finally, sprinkle with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and cut into portions.
The result will be a delicious cake, full of flavor and original! You should try making this simple recipe, you won’t stop making it.

Tips and advice
The good thing about making this type of cake is that you can change ingredients and make other variants, with the same recipe. You can vary the fruits, you can change the flavor of the dough and you can even cover the cake with icing or chocolate.
Always remember to turn on the oven well in advance. Doing this is very important, since while we prepare the cake, the oven will acquire the desired temperature. Otherwise, our preparation could be taken away from us and left raw in the center.
