Apple and Rhubarb Crumble Pie

I  met Rhubarb on  Wednesday for the first time. The whole experience of learning about it in a new recipe, left so good impression at me that I made the same thing again  today. This simple pie is making my weekend!

Ingredients:
Shortcrust pastry-
    1 ¼ cups plain flour
    1/3 cup icing sugar
    ¼ cup almond meal
    125g butter, from fridge cut into cubes
    1 egg yolk
    1-2 tbs cold water
Crumble-

¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup blanched almonds
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup rolled oats
50g cold butter, cubed

Filling-
2  apples, peeled, cut in chunks
5 stalks (200g) rhubarb, sliced
2 tablespoons white sugar 
1 tbs semolina or biscuit crumbs

For  glazing-
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons raw sugar, to sprinkle (optional)  

Method:
Process flour with butter (or use your finger tips for rubbing), add other ingredients for dough and make a soft dough. Wrap into glad wrap and let it rest in a cool spot.
Place all ingredients for crumble into a food processor and pulls until large crumbs formed. Leave it aside.
Mix all ingredients for filling.
Switch oven to 170 *C.
Place dough between 2 pieces of baking paper and roll into a large circle (about 2-2,5 mm thick). Spoon a bit of crumble on bottom of pastry, place 1/2 of apple/ rhubarb mixture, add half of left crumble, then again apple/rhubarb and top with crumble. Bring sides of pastry up over the side of pile; press slightly with your fingers. Brush with egg white (and sprinkle with sugar if desired) and place in oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until pastry becomes golden and filling slightly collapsed. 
 Let it cool before slicing. Enjoy!

Izmrvljena Pita sa Jabukama i Rabarbarom

 Rabarbaru sam 'upoznala' u  srijedu!  Ostavila je tako dobar utisak na mene, da sam cijeli postupak  odlucila ponoviti danas, koristeci isti (novi) recept. 
Ova jednostavna pita ce uljepsati  moj vikend.

Potrebno:

Tijesto-

1 1/4 solje brasna

1/3 solje secera u prahu

1/4 solje mljevenih badema

125 gr maslaca, iz frizidera

1 zumance

1-2 K hladne vode

Mrvice-

1/4 solje braon secera

1/4 solje badema, mljevenih ili sjeckanih

1/2 k cimeta

1/3 solje presovane zobi / jecma

50 gr hladmog maslaca, rezanog na kockice

Fil-

2 jabuke, oguljene i isjecene na komade

5 stabljika rabarbare, izrezane sitno 

2 K secera

1 K griza / krupice ili mrvica keksa

 Za glazuru-

1 bjelance, blago umuceno

2 K zutog secera, za posuti po tijestu (opcija)

Nacin:

Istrljajte brasno i maslac prstima pa dodajte ostale sastojke i umijesite tijesto. Naravno, ovaj postupak mozete uciniti sjeckalicom. Zamotajte tijesto u plasticnu foliju i ostavite na hladnom mjestu da se odmori.

Isjeckajte (u elek. sjeckalici) sve sastojke za mrvljeni dio. Treba da dobijete krupnije formirane mrvice. Ostavite po strani.

Izmijesajte sastojke za fil.

Ukljucite rernu na 170*C.

Postavite tijesto izmedju 2 komada papira za pecenje i razvaljajte veci krug oko 2-2,5 mm debljine. Pospite sredinu kruga sa malo 'mrvica', zatim stavite polovinu fila, polovinu preostalih mrvica, ponovo fil i na kraju mrvicastu masu. Podignite ivice tijesta, skupite ih prstima i priticnite blago uz fil. Premazite tijesto bjelanjkom (i pospite secerom ako zelite)

Stavite u rernu i pecite oko 40-45 minuta. Izvadite i prohladite prije rezanja. Uzivajte!
