Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large bowl and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Mix well to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add butter and mix with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and sour cream, then add to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Base
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish. Press three-quarters of the dough mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a base.
Step 4: Add the Apple Filling
Spread the prepared apple mixture evenly over the dough base in the baking dish.
Step 5: Prepare the Jelly Layer
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and mix in some sugar to taste if desired.
Step 6: Pour Jelly Over Apples
Carefully pour the prepared jelly over the apple layer, ensuring even coverage.
Step 7: Crumble Remaining Dough
Take the remaining dough and crumble it over the top of the jelly layer to create a topping.
Step 8: Bake the Dessert
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Step 9: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. Serve as desired.
