The classic apple and sour cream cake is very easy to prepare:

1. To make the filling, first boil the milk in a pot. Meanwhile, mix the pudding powder with 150 grams of sugar and stir both with a little milk until smooth. Then add the pudding batter to the boiling milk and simmer for about a minute. Then pour the pudding into a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it cool or refrigerate.
2. For the shortcrust pastry, quickly knead the remaining sugar with a pinch of salt, butter and flour in a large bowl to form a soft dough. Also cover and chill for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, wash, peel, core and quarter the apples. Cut the apple wedges widthwise into thin slices and mix them with a little lemon juice, vanilla sugar and cinnamon.
3. While the oven is preheating to 180 degrees top and bottom temperature (alternatively, 160 degree fan oven), grease the springform pan well with butter. Then press the cold dough onto the base of the springform pan, forming a rim about two inches high. Now put the apple filling on the shortcrust pastry.
4. Stir the cooled pudding with sour cream until smooth, then spread it over the apples. To smooth the cream, tap the springform pan on the work surface several times. Finally, sprinkle with the almond sticks and bake in the lower third of the preheated oven for about 50 minutes. Let cool completely, unmold and serve. Enjoy!

Especially in autumn and winter, apple pie can be wonderfully refined with a little cinnamon. Combined with the apples and vanilla aroma, your apartment will smell deliciously of sweet Christmas aromas.
