I found this one in a Dr. Oetker cookbook. I used spelt bran instead of finely ground spelt and it turned out fantastic, so I think spelt flour - or any other whole wheat flour for that matter - would do the same trick. Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter, softened |
5 tablespoons maple syrup |
1 vanilla bean |
3 eggs |
1/3-1/2 cup spelt, finely ground or 1/3-1/2 cup whole wheat flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 1/3 cups rolled oats (crush them a bit in a food processor) |
1 1/3 lbs apples, peeled and diced (sweet or tart it's up to you) |
1/4 cup sultana |
1/4 cup butter, chopped into flakes |
1/3 cup sliced almonds |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375-400 °F.
2. Beat butter in a large bowl until creamy (about 30 sec.).
3. Gradually add maple syrup and vanilla seeds.
4. Beat until the mixture becomes creamy and then stir in the eggs, one at a time.
5. In a separate bowl mix spelt, rolled oats and baking powder.
6. Gradually add the dry mix to the butter-egg mixture. Stir well.
7. Put 2/3 of the mass in a well greased 9 inch pan and smooth down.
8. Peel the apples and cut them into small pieces and spread them on the batter.
9. Scatter sultanas over the apple fill.
10. Using 2 teaspoons, spoon the remaining batter into heaps and spread them over the apples.
11. Spread sliced almonds and butter flakes over the pie.
12. Bake at 375-400°F for 50-60 minutes. Check it after 35 minutes and cover with foil if the surface gets too brown.
13. Serve with whipped cream or maple or ginger syrup. (I use Candied Ginger and Syrup).
