Basic recipe: How to prepare the sunken apple pie with just a few ingredients

• Preheat the oven - top/bottom heat 180 degrees Celsius, circulating air 160 degrees Celsius.

• Put the butter in a bowl.

  It should be soft.

  If you didn't get them out of the fridge or freezer in time, you can easily reheat them in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl.

  Add the sugar and mix until fluffy.

• Beat in the eggs one at a time and add the flour, cornstarch and baking powder.

  It is best to sift off the baking powder to avoid lumps forming.

• Then pour the mixed dough into a baking tin that you either greased with a little butter or margarine and flour or lined with baking paper.

• Peel the apples, remove the core and cut the fruit into slices that you can place on the dough.

• Bake the cake batter for about 35 minutes and then remove it from the cake pan.

When the sunken apple pie has cooled a bit, you can dust it with powdered sugar and serve.
