Instructions
| 1. | Preparing the Dough: |
|---|---|
| 2. | In a food processor, combine chopped butter, egg yolks, and sour cream or pure cream. |
| 3. | Incorporate self-raising flour, dry yeast, and sugar. Process until the dough is light and not sticking to the processor's sides. |
| 4. | Adjust the dough consistency by adding more flour if too moist or a splash of milk if too dry. |
| 5. | Cover the dough and refrigerate overnight to develop its flavors. |
| 6. | Remove the dough from the fridge 1-2 hours before baking to allow it to soften slightly. |
| 7. | Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and grease a rectangular baking dish. |
| 8. | Divide the dough in two parts, roll out one portion to fit the baking dish. |
| 9. | Sprinkle crushed walnuts evenly over the dough. |
| 10. | Grate the Red Delicious apples, then squeeze out excess juice. |
| 11. | Spread the grated apples over the walnuts. |
| 12. | Sprinkle with a touch of caster sugar and a hint of cinnamon for that cozy flavor. |
| 13. | Cover the filling with the second half of the dough. |
| 14. | Brush the top dough layer with a beaten egg, then prick with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking. |
| 15. | Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. |
| 16. | Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish before serving. |
| 17. | Serve slices of this delightful cake with a dollop of cream for a truly indulgent treat! |
