For the yeast dough:

  • 50 g Coconut milk, 24% fat, lukewarm, see note
  • 1 bag Dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp Sugar, white, fine
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 Egg, size M
  • 2 tbsp Sunflower oil

For covering:

  • 8 Coconut cookies, finely grated
  • 850 g Apples
  • 50 g Honey almonds, whole
  • 2 tbsp Strawberry jam

For protective sheet:

  • 2 tbsp Lime or lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp Sugar, white, fine
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 80 g Water

For the sprinkles:

  • 80 g Wheat flour, type 405
  • 60 g Margarine or butter
  • 45 g Sugar, white, fine
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt

Also:

  • Springform pan, 24 cm
  • 1 arc Parchment paper
  • Flour for the work surface

Instructions
 

The yeast dough:

  • For the yeast dough, put the flour in a mixing bowl for the food processor. Whisk 30 g of the lukewarm coconut milk with the dry yeast, sugar, salt and egg and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Slowly add to the flour mixture with the machine running. Pour the sunflower oil into the crumbly batter. Knead for at least 10 minutes.

Important:

  • If necessary, add the rest of the milk to the dough in teaspoons, so that a smooth dough is formed that can be easily removed from the bowl and kneaded easily. Let rise for 45 minutes in a warm place.

Do not forget:

  • Line the springform pan with baking paper. Finely grate the coconut cookies.

Against a tan:

  • What looks good to people is less good for apples. Mix all ingredients for anti-tanning in a larger bowl.

Apple processing:

  • Wash, peel, halve and core the apples. Halve the smallest apple lengthways and use one half as a whole for the center of the cake. Halve the apple halves and halve the quarters lengthways as well. Immediately place in the bowl with the anti-browning and cover with it so that the apple pieces do not turn brown. Take out of the bath and drain in a coarse sieve.

Prepare the cake base:

  • Knead the dough briefly, roll it out, put it in the springform pan and form a rim. Perforate the dough base several times with a fork and sprinkle with the coconut flakes. Let rise for about 15 minutes.

Do not forget!

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Top the cake:

  • Line up the apple pieces upright along the raised edge of the dough in a circle. Scatter the almonds over the apple pieces, leaving out the middle apple. For the crumble mix the ingredients with the dough hook until they start to combine. Sprinkle over the apples, leaving out the middle apple again. Brush the middle apple with strawberry jam.

To bake:

  • Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake on the middle rack in about 40 minutes. After 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 170 degrees.

Enjoy:

  • Let the cake cool down well and enjoy.

Annotation:

  • Depending on the swellability of the flour, it can be a little more or less.
