This is from the Art of Lithuanian Cooking . I haven't made it yet. It's a pastry of sorts....not really pie, not really cake. Times are guesstimates and don't include the overnight chilling of the dough. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
5 tablespoons cream cheese, softened |
2 cups flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 lemon, zest of, grated |
butter (for spreading over baking pan) |
breadcrumbs (for spreading over baking pan) |
4 -5 medium apples (peeled, cored and cut fine) |
milk (for brushing) |
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Mix 1/2 cup butter and cream cheese together. Add flour, sugar and lemon zest. Blend well. Place in fridge overnight.
2. The next day, prepare baking dish (8x8?) by coating it with butter and then sprinkle with some bread crumbs.
3. Divide dough in two. Roll out one-half and place into a baking dish. Spread apples over the dough. Sprinkle a little sugar over them if they are tart. Cover with the other half of the dough. Cu several slits in the pie top for ventilation.
4. Brush top of pie with milk, the sprinkle with confectioners sugar and walnuts.
