What do you need:

Bottom:

• 80 grams of Green Sweet Brown,
• 160 grams of vegetable butter (wayang, packet and at room temperature),
• 250 grams of spelled flour,
• 1 tbsp broken linseed + 3 tbsp water (mix in a bowl and soak for 10 minutes),
• pinch of Himalayan salt,
• 10 grams of gingerbread spices
• 6-8 Green Sweet liquid vanilla (to taste) .

Filling:

• 3 apples (600 grams diced),
• 1 teaspoon of gingerbread spices,
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon,
• juice of a ½ lemon,
• 2 tbsp oatmeal,
• 10-12 tbsp pear sauce *,
• ½ tbsp almond milk and some almond shavings.

* Pear sauce: 700 grams of pears (peeled and diced), 2 nectarines (peeled and pitted). All in a saucepan with a splash of water. Bring to a boil. When it is soft, drain excess and purée. You're left with pear sauce!

This is how you make it:

Step 1 Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2 Place the Greensweet brown, spelled flour, gingerbread spices and salt in a large bowl and mix well.

Step 3 Take the wayang butter and cut into small pieces. Add this to the flour along with the broken flaxseed paste and the Greensweet liquid stevia vanilla. Knead a dough ball with your hands.

Step 4 Wrap the dough ball in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Step 5 In the meantime, get started with your apple mixture. Wash the apples and cut into 4 parts. Remove the core and cut into small cubes. Mix the gingerbread spices and cinnamon over the apple and toss well. Mix 10-12 tbsp pear sauce into the apple mixture.

Do you also want to add nuts? Do this now.

Step 6 Take your dough ball out of the refrigerator and press the baking sheet into a large circle. Your dough can be 1 to 2 cm thick. In the middle you put your apple mixture down. Make sure you have enough space to fold the dough inwards.

Step 7 Brush the edges with some almond milk and sprinkle with some almonds. Put your cake in the oven and after about 25-30 minutes your cake is ready.

Step 8 Let the cake cool for at least 20 minutes. When you let the cake cool completely and keep it in the fridge, your bottom is nice and firm.
