>>13815774It's not about recipe but the amount of force and energy you need to knead all that cake and peel + pluck two kilo of hard, half-frozen apples.
Rolling the dough is always the worst, even when it spent half an hour in the fridge. Never gonna get a good, two-piece cake, it will always end up like a twenty-piece puzzle stitched together with egg whites - which looks cool, mind you, but I crave the perfect American pie look, you know.
