Grate the dough on a coarse grater. Step-by-step recipe for grated pie with jam. Preparing dough for grated pie with jam in a slow cooker

In the morning I baked a grated pie, at lunch I wanted to drink tea - and I couldn’t find what to put on the plate. Sadness! However, I console myself with the fact that since the grated “happiness” so quickly disappears into the depths of the stomachs of my household, it means that it actually deserves an excellent rating.

I bake grated pie according to my grandmother's recipe. My mother cooked it the same way. My sister and godmother do the same, and I hope my daughters will bake in due time. I am sure that most housewives with experience know this recipe - they know it and cook it quite often. Nevertheless, I want to remind those who know how and do it once again (what if you haven’t baked it for a long time?), and for those who are just setting off on a grand voyage across the vast ocean of cooking, I’ll tell you what I myself know.

Ingredients

  • 200 g butter;
  • 3 cups flour;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 1/3 tsp. soda;
  • 1/2 tsp. salt;
  • 1 cup of sugar;
  • thick jam or marmalade.

Preparation

Big photos Small photos

    Take the butter out of the refrigerator. We are not preparing chopped dough, but regular shortbread dough, so we don’t need frozen butter, we leave it in the kitchen for a while. When it is quite easy to cut with a knife, divide it into 6-10 parts (exclusively for convenience) and place it in the bowl of a food processor.

    We measure out the sugar. If you do not have a sweet tooth and prefer discreetly sweet desserts, feel free to reduce the indicated amount.

    Break eggs into a bowl, add salt and soda. Please do not neglect salt - it is simply necessary for the ideal and balanced taste of shortcrust pastry: without it, it turns out insipid, flat, uninteresting.

    Mix the contents until smooth. No creamy structures or airy-smooth masses are required, you just need to combine the butter with the eggs.

    And we start adding flour. I never measure the amount, I always pour it “by eye”. You should have a smooth dough that comes together completely and does not stick to the sides of the processor. If you squeeze it into a fist, your fingers will also remain clean (greasy, but not in the dough).

    This is two glasses of flour. Not enough, the dough is liquid. Of course, if you bake it, the product most likely will not spread, but this is far from what we need, and not what is required for a grated pie.

    Two and a half glasses. Better, much better, but still not the same. The dough is soft, but does not hold its shape; it is almost impossible to form the product we need from it.

    Three glasses. Almost perfect, but pay attention to the sides of the bowl - they are a little oily. In principle, you can stop at this stage, however, purely intuitively, I added two more tablespoons of flour.

    And now I think that what was needed was achieved. The shortbread dough is ready. Elastic and soft, tender and pleasant.

    We divide it into two parts – a little larger and a little smaller. We create with the larger one, while we send the smaller one straight to the freezer.

    We roll out the one we are working on into a rectangle. The dimensions of the rectangle should be equal (plus or minus) to the dimensions of the pan in which you will bake the cake.

    Carefully transfer the dough layer into the mold. If something breaks somewhere, don’t worry - it’s absolutely not important and not fundamental. By and large, you can skip the rolling step altogether and immediately stretch the dough in the mold with your fingers. It takes a little longer, but you don’t have to wash the rolling pin. Choose your option.

    So, we transfer it, if necessary, we straighten the edges, and press the torn places.

    We are looking for jam, preserves or jam (we make grated pie with jam, remember?). In my opinion, it tastes best with currant jam - it has a pleasant sourness, which “looks” simply amazing when combined with shortcrust pastry. This time I had apricot jam with rosemary - bright in taste, with a pleasant pine aftertaste, barely sour, but very aromatic. If the jam you find is runny, I recommend mixing it with a tablespoon of starch or flour. Or - boil it down to a “thick drop” that does not spread.

    I deliberately did not write the amount of jam - focus on your shape, the thickness of the jam, its fluidity. Usually 4-5 tablespoons are required, no more - the jam will flow. Of course, you can pour out half a jar from your heart (after all, we’re trying for ourselves, why be greedy?), but in everything, moderation is required: excess jam will leak out, fry, and burn.

    Spread the jam evenly over the surface of the dough.

    We take the second “ball” out of the freezer and begin to grate it on a coarse grater. This process is not the easiest, inconvenient and unpleasant. If you place a grater on a board, the dough will fall into one place and inevitably stick together, so you need to keep it suspended. You can use the services of a meat grinder, but the “worms” that come out of it must be immediately caught and assigned to a permanent place of residence.

    The dough you rub should be spread evenly over the pie.

    Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake until nicely golden brown, about 25 minutes.

    Remove the finished grated pie from the oven and leave it alone for 3-5 minutes, after which you must cut it with a sharp knife. After cooling, you can only break it into pieces, so don’t forget about this point.

    When the pie has cooled completely, transfer it to a dish and invite everyone to drink tea. However, I’m sure that the latter is superfluous: by this moment, the household members will already be sitting at the table and starting to nervously bang their spoons.

Options are possible!

If you think that grated pie might get boring, I hasten to disappoint you: there are so many ways to vary the standard grated pie recipe that you could make it every other day for a year and not be disappointed!

Fillings in grated pie recipes

The easiest way is to experiment with the filling. In addition to preserves, marmalade, marmalade and confiture, you can use:
- cottage cheese, curd masses and various pastes based on it;
- poppy;
- nuts;
- various dried fruits (raisins, prunes, dates, dried apricots);
- fresh berries (cherries, sweet cherries, currants, blueberries, cranberries, lingonberries);
- condensed milk;
- chocolate;
- coconut flakes;
- meringue;
- twisted lemon mixed with sugar;
- fresh apple, cut into small pieces or grated on a coarse grater.

Experiments with dough

You can also experiment with the dough. It’s great to add chopped nuts to the part that “goes” on top of the pie (grated crumbs). Works great with a little oat flakes - they add incredible crunch. In addition to the fact that the pie is sprinkled with grated dough, you can prepare the streusel separately - it will be extremely tasty, elegant and even festive.

Lenten grated pie

During Lent, the hardest thing for me is to give up the usual sweets. I really love all kinds of cakes and mousses, jellies and candies, cookies and pies, and when I have to limit myself to such simple joys, I immediately begin to feel like a deeply unhappy person. For such periods of abstinence, I specially select recipes that can be implemented during fasting.
It is quite possible to adapt a grated pie for such needs. Of course, the difference between real butter and vegetable margarine is colossal, however, believe me, when you desperately want something sweet, this pie seems like a luxury and simply a masterpiece of culinary art.

Ingredients for Lenten Grated Pie Recipe

200 g vegetable margarine;
3 cups flour;
1/2 tsp. soda;
1/3 tsp. salt;
1 cup of sugar;
3-4 tbsp. l. ice water;
jam or marmalade.

How to cook grated pie in Lent

Sift flour, salt and soda into a deep bowl, add sugar. If you are not a fan of richly sweet dough, and the jam you have on hand also contains too much sugar, I recommend reducing the amount.

Grind margarine (preferably frozen) on a grater, mix with flour and, adding a few tablespoons of very cold water, collect the dough into a ball. Divide it into two parts (larger and smaller), wrap it in film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

After the specified time has passed, take out most of the dough, roll it into a rectangle and transfer it to the form in which we will bake the pie. If necessary, we fasten the torn areas with our fingers and smooth out the unevenness.

Spread a few tablespoons of jam evenly over the first part of the dough.

We take out the second part of the dough and grate it, scattering small crumbs over the entire surface of the pie at once.

Bake at 180 degrees until nicely golden – about 25 minutes.

Take the pie out of the oven, wait 5-7 minutes, then cut it - always while it’s hot. Serve after cooling completely.

Grated pie is considered by housewives to be one of the simplest and at the same time unusual desserts. Most often, these baked goods are based on shortbread dough, and you can experiment with fillings.

Such pies are also called “Hungarian”, most likely because the recipe came from the cuisine of Hungary. In pastry shops, desserts are often cut into small squares and labeled as “Viennese cookies.”

This dessert has become popular for its versatility and base. This is a classic shortbread dough, and each housewife decides for herself how to use it.

You can roll it into a layer, or you can put it in the freezer and then grate it or make crumbs. So the pie can look different and also taste different.

Filling options

The classic recipe necessarily implies the presence of jam in the filling, any jam at that.

But there are other types of fillings that will go well with shortcrust pastry in this recipe:

  • condensed milk, and in combination with nuts and coconut flakes - even tastier;
  • berries and fruits. In summer you can use them fresh, in winter - frozen. You can take strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, apples, cherries, currants, gooseberries, peaches and apricots. You need to add sugar to taste for those with a sweet tooth, as well as starch so that the fruit does not leak out. A pie with such a filling needs to have higher sides;
  • dried fruits, or better yet a mixture of them: raisins, dried apricots, dates, prunes. You need to grind it all in a meat grinder or blender;
  • cottage cheese (can be in its pure form, or in combination with fresh or dried fruits, berries, nuts);
  • chocolate;
  • lemon, grated with granulated sugar and semolina.

Berries or fruits boiled in sugar syrup go well in a grated pie with tender dough. This dessert can be prepared to suit every taste - both for those with a sweet tooth and for those who like sour things.

This dessert filled with apples does not go stale for a long time and retains its aroma and taste.

Grated pie with any jam is easy to prepare when you are short of time and money. It is simple and inexpensive.

Ingredients:

  • butter – 1 pack;
  • sugar – 0.2 kg;
  • vanilla sugar – 1 pinch;
  • flour – 0.5 kg;
  • vinegar (apple) – 1 tablespoon;
  • eggs – 3 pieces;
  • soda – 1 teaspoon;
  • apple jam – 0.3 kg.

Mix eggs and sugar in a container. The food and bowl must be cold - this is important for shortcrust pastry. Sugar is added to taste, but it is important to remember that the more sour the berry or fruit, the more sweetness will be needed to overcome the sourness.

Flour is poured into another cup, and grated chilled butter is poured into it. Rub the flour and butter with your hands until a homogeneous fine crumb is formed, and the butter should not melt. After this, pour in the mixture of eggs and sugar.

Quench the soda in vinegar, also pour it into a container with flour, and add vanilla sugar.

The crumbly shortbread dough must be kneaded very quickly so that it does not have time to heat up. If it crumbles too much, you need to add a little cold water.

Then the resulting mass should be divided into 2 parts, different in size. Place the smaller one in film and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Most of the dough should be rolled out thinly under a baking dish, then covered with film on top and placed in for a quarter of an hour. After this time, you need to put cold food on it and spread it in an even thin layer.

The dough that was placed in the freezer for half an hour is rubbed on top.

Bake for a little longer than half an hour at 180°C. The oven must be preheated.

The pie is cooled and cut into pieces.

With apricot jam

List of products for 12 pieces:

  • butter – 1 pack;
  • apricot jam to taste;
  • eggs – 2 pcs.;
  • granulated sugar – 0.2 kg;
  • wheat flour – 0.5 kg;
  • baking powder – 1 g.

The preparation steps are as follows.

  1. Beat the butter with sugar and eggs.
  2. Add baking powder and flour.
  3. Mix everything thoroughly.
  4. Place the dough in the freezer for 1 hour.
  5. Then, after cooling, it is divided into 2 parts.
  6. The mold is greased with oil, and 1 part of the dough is rubbed onto it, pressed down slightly to form sides and a bottom.
  7. Apricot jam is laid out on top and the second part is grated.
  8. Preheat the oven and place the pie for half an hour at 180°C.

The cake is ready when the crumbs on top are golden brown.

With cherry jam

The dough is prepared according to the same recipe as grated apple and apricot pie.

The base is also divided into 2 equal parts, and one of them is placed in a pre-oiled form. High sides are formed to prevent the filling from leaking out. Cherry jam is spread on the dough, with fine crumbs from the second piece of shortcrust pastry on top.

With currant jam

The pie baked according to this recipe is a very interesting combination of sweetness and sourness.

List of ingredients:

  • butter – 0.15 kg;
  • chicken eggs – 2 pcs.,
  • sugar – 1 glass;
  • flour - 3 cups;
  • soda - half a teaspoon;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • currant jam - 1/3 liter jar;
  • oil for greasing the baking sheet.

Cut the butter into cubes and place in a bowl. Pour all the sugar there and add the eggs. All this is kneaded with a fork, then flour, salt and baking soda are added. Now you can start kneading the dough.

The process is the same as with other jam, only currant is added. Naturally, with black currants it will be sweeter, but with red or white currants it will be sour.

There are other fillings for grated pie.

With cottage cheese

With this dairy product you can bake a lot of delicious pastries - cheesecakes, cheesecakes, buns, etc.

The delicate taste leaves no one indifferent, and guests will remember it for a long time.

Required Products:

  • flour – 0.45 kg;
  • butter or margarine – 1 pack;
  • fat sour cream – 7 tablespoons;
  • sugar – 1 glass;
  • eggs – 2 pieces;
  • soda or baking powder - 2 teaspoons;
  • high fat cottage cheese – 2 packs of 200 grams each;
  • granulated sugar – 120 g.

How to cook?

  1. Mix granulated sugar, margarine, eggs, flour and baking powder in a deep container. The dough is divided into 2 parts, one of which is put in the refrigerator.
  2. In another plate you need to mix sour cream, sugar and all the cottage cheese. The first part of the dough is rolled out into a thin layer and placed in a mold that has been previously greased with butter. Cottage cheese is added evenly on top.
  3. Next, you need to take the second part of the dough, which has already cooled, and grate it on top using a coarse grater.
  4. The oven needs to be preheated to 200 degrees and place the pie there. Bake for 40 minutes. The cooled dessert is cut into equal pieces.

With lemon

To prepare a grated pie with such an unusual filling you will need:

  • flour - 0.3 kg;
  • butter - half a pack;
  • sugar -0.2 kg;
  • soda - half a teaspoon;
  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • lemon - 2 pcs.;
  • vanilla sugar - 1 whole sachet;
  • salt - on the tip of the knife;
  • lemon juice – 1 tablespoon;
  • water - 50 ml;
  • corn starch - 2 tablespoons.

The preparation steps are as follows.

  1. The dough is prepared in the same way as in previous recipes. The correct shortbread dough is elastic in consistency and does not stick to your fingers.
  2. The resulting mass is divided into 2 unequal parts, both of them are wrapped in film and sent to the refrigerator for an hour.
  3. The larger piece is rolled out into a thin cake and placed in a mold. Right in the mold, the dough is sent back into the cold.
  4. At this time, you can prepare the lemon filling. Zest the lemons and remove the seeds. The fruits need to be cut into small slices.
  5. Lemon slices are sent to a blender, and they need to be crushed until a homogeneous consistency is obtained. You can pass it through the device directly with the zest, but then bitterness will appear.
  6. Next, the lemon mass is transferred to a saucepan with a thick bottom, starch and sugar are poured into it, everything is mixed well so that there are no lumps. You need to cook a little so that the consistency of the filling becomes a little thicker.
  7. Now you can take the form with the dough out of the refrigerator and spread the lemon mixture evenly over it.
  8. The second part of the dough is rubbed on top.
  9. The pie is baked for 30-40 minutes. The crumbs are slightly browned, the main thing here is not to dry out the pie.

With apples

What is included in this dessert:

  • flour (0.34 kg);
  • sugar (0.15);
  • oil (0.1);
  • eggs (2 pcs.);
  • soda (half a teaspoon);
  • vanillin (on the tip of a knife);
  • apples (preferably sweet and sour);
  • cinnamon.

The dough is prepared in the same way as for any other recipe, divided into 2 parts, both of which are put in the refrigerator.

You need to prepare the filling. Take 3 large apples, peel them and remove the seeds. The pulp is rubbed through a grater and sprinkled with lemon juice. This will allow you to acquire a subtle sourness and prevent the apples from darkening.

Rub 1 piece of dough from the refrigerator into the mold. Place mashed apple mixture on top and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

The rest of the shortbread dough is rubbed on top. The grated crumbs should cover the pie in a completely even layer.

Place the pie pan in the preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for a little over half an hour.

The finished dessert is cooled and then carefully cut into equal parts.

There are some tricks in making grated pie that experienced housewives are willing to share.

  1. Berries and some fruits produce juice, which must be disposed of before you start baking the dessert. Excess liquid will prevent the bottom crust from baking well. Adding a small amount of starch will prevent the dessert from becoming too moist.
  2. Margarine and butter for baking can be taken in equal proportions. This will not worsen the taste, but will save money.
  3. The grated pie is prepared exclusively in a preheated oven at high temperatures (180-210 degrees).
  4. If the dessert is sprinkled with powdered sugar before serving, it will look very original.

Conclusion

A simple, but at the same time exquisite grated pie will receive many rave reviews. It can be prepared both for special occasions and for everyday home tea parties with the family.

Grated pie. Grated pie is a very popular and tasty delicacy that is very easy to prepare. Almost always, such pies are prepared on the basis of shortcrust pastry, and they invariably turn out appetizing, tender and crumbly. And they are called grated because a special assembly technology is used in their production.

The most popular grated pie is, of course, grated pie with jam, often called Hungarian. However, this is far from the only variety of such pies: no less interesting and tasty pies can be baked with lemon, apples, various berries, apricots, dried fruits, condensed milk and even mayonnaise.

The main thing in making grated pies is to prepare the “correct” dough. Usually butter is used to prepare it, but some housewives successfully prepare it with margarine. First you need to prepare ordinary shortbread dough, extinguishing soda with vinegar. And then the dough is divided into two parts and frozen. Next, the dough is placed on the bottom of the baking sheet, either rolled out or grated on a coarse grater (most often only the top layer is grated) - it depends on what kind of pie you want to bake. Place the filling on this layer (if it is jam, it is important to make sure that it is not too liquid, and if it is berries, then in order to prevent them from spreading, they are combined with a small amount of starch) and rub the second part of the frozen dough on top. If you don’t want to grate the dough, you can simply knead it into crumbs with your hands. And only after this can you send the future culinary masterpiece to an oven preheated to 180 - 200 degrees. In this case, there is absolutely no need to grease the pie pan or baking sheet - the shortbread dough will not stick to them in any case. But, if you really want, you can cover them with a piece of parchment - if suddenly the filling accidentally leaks out of the pie, it won’t burn and you won’t have to wash the dishes.

If the jam used as a filling turns out to be too sweet, you can add diced fruit (apples, etc.) or just a little lemon juice to it. An excellent solution would be zest, which can be added not only to the filling, but also to the dough itself - such a pie will turn out to be extremely aromatic.

To make the grated pie even more original, you can add chopped nuts to the top of the dough. And if you want to make it crispier, you should add a small amount of oatmeal to the dough. If desired, you can even prepare a lean version of the grated pie - in this case, the butter is replaced with vegetable margarine.

After getting acquainted with this simple recipe, you will discover the opportunity to prepare some of the most unusual and delicious pies: grated pie, crumble, streusel (or rather, streusel pie). All these desserts are united by the dough preparation technique. True, I think you can already roughly guess from the name itself what needs to be done and how. And yet, I decided to highlight a separate topic dedicated to these pies.
We will talk about different ways of “kneading” dough, about the most delicious and most unusual fillings. I will also pleasantly surprise you a little (I hope so) when I show you how to shape these pies, what options there are, and in what cases to use this or that case. In a word, it will be interesting! But it’s even more interesting when you begin to actively participate in the conversation, share your opinions, experiences and even photographs!)

All the benefits of grated pie

Why is it worth making such baked goods? This pie has many advantages:

  • It is easy to do, even a child can do it (with our help);
  • To make it, you need the simplest products, which are often found in our refrigerators;
  • This pie is often called “Guests on the Doorstep.” Why? Because it is done very quickly; especially if you have a piece of dough lingering in the freezer;
  • The pie looks beautiful, “curly”. And at the same time, it does not need to be decorated in a special way, it will decorate itself));
  • With the help of this baking you can utilize thick jam. It always remains uneaten (and the jar with the leftover jam sits for a long time and tediously, until our nerves can’t stand it and we don’t dare to wash the jar and throw away the leftover jam).

And now the recipe!

Ingredients:


How to cook:

  1. Grate butter (180 g). It is very convenient to put the package in the freezer for 30 minutes, it will be much easier to rub.
    Add salt (0.5 tsp) and baking powder (1 tsp). Grind everything into crumbs.
  2. Granulated sugar goes into the mixing bowl next.
    The recipe uses 180 grams of sugar, but if the jam for the filling is very sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar to 110 g. Now add the sifted flour.
  3. Rub the flour with your palms. The result is fine crumbs, different in structure.
  4. Break the egg and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
    Mix the dough. If the dough is very thick and does not come together into crumbs, you can add another egg (or egg yolk) or a few tablespoons of ice water. The dough should be plastic and hold its shape well.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll them into balls or leave them as is. Wrap each piece in film and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more.
  6. After cooling, take one ball at a time from the refrigerator. And grate each ball.
    Cover the mold (mine is 24 cm in diameter) with parchment.
    We will need approximately half of the dough for the bottom layer of the pie.
  7. Spread jam on top of the dough.
  8. Cover the filling with the remaining grated dough.
    The entire surface of the pie should be covered with dough.
  9. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes at 180 (depending on the power of your oven, it may take different times).
  10. Enjoy!

I can anticipate your question: does the oil have to be cold?

Indeed, recipes often indicate that the dough must be cooled after cooking. Is it necessary to cool the oil? Or should it be kept at room temperature before mixing with flour?
Both options are valid. It’s just that further manipulations with the dough differ. And we also looked at an option where eggs are added to the dough. But how to make dough without eggs? Here are 2 options.

All the secrets of making shortcrust pastry are in the article.

Cold oil

  • Well-chilled butter is dipped in flour and grated directly into the flour.
  • Flour and butter are mixed until crumbs form. You can rub the dough between your palms.
  • The crumbs need to be cooled and only then the cake should be formed.

If you want to add sugar, you need to do this at the very beginning: mix the sifted flour with sugar. Then the baking powder is introduced. And then add the grated butter.
But this option also works with eggs. It is better to add beaten eggs (it is important to first combine the white with the yolk). And after the butter has already been grated, but not mixed with the dry ingredients.

Room temperature oil

  • The butter is mixed with a spatula with flour and sugar.
  • Rub the dough between your palms. You can get crumbs of different sizes or the same size.

As for eggs, they can be introduced at the beginning, along with oil.
And one more important point: is it possible to replace some products with others?
You know, I often see in recipes how housewives use margarine instead of butter. I agree, such a replacement is possible and quite justified, taking into account the fact that the quality of butter is “lame” (as Winnie the Pooh said: “it’s good, but it’s lame” ©). Sometimes good margarine performs better in baking than butter. This means you can exchange it, but only for a very high-quality product.

What else besides oil can be replaced:

  • I would like to say right away about eggs, but with the note that we do not exchange eggs for another product, but reduce their quantity or completely remove them from the dough. Just keep in mind that then you need to put less flour in the dough than the recipe says!!!
  • The same goes for sugar. You can replace it with fructose, reduce the amount, or make the dough without sugar at all!
  • Flour. If you like to experiment, by replacing wheat flour with rice, corn, rye or buckwheat, you can get a completely unexpected result! You can also combine different types of flour. For example, I really love grated dessert pies with flour made from equal parts wheat and corn. But snack pies made from rye flour just cause me childish delight! I think they are perfect!!!
  • Baking powder. Do you remember the topic where we looked at how to make baking powder yourself (ingredients for it and proportions)? Be sure to take a look at this article; I’m sure you’ll need it more than once in your culinary practice! So, I suggest not just replacing a purchased product with one that you prepare yourself. The article discusses different options, including the one when both baking powder and soda are added. And if you like to experiment and decide to make some kind of dough, then this article will help you figure out what and how much to add to your pie.

Now let's talk about replacing fillings and different options for filling the pie.

Filling options with and without jam

Since we are talking about a pie with jam, it’s worth looking at the options for this filling first. And then we will continue the list with those products that go perfectly with grated pie.

What kind of jam is suitable:

  • Any berry/fruit (or mixed version) with pieces of berries (...).
  • Puree jam so that no berries/fruits remain.
  • Jam.
  • Jam.
  • Jam with additives. For example, with candied fruits, nuts, marshmallows, chocolate, fresh berries, etc.

What if the jam is not thick enough?

This can be easily corrected by boiling it with a couple of tablespoons of starch until slightly thickened. After cooling, the jam will become even thicker; keep this in mind!

Other filling options:

  • After jam, the most common additive is cottage cheese. By the way, if desired, such a filling can be made sweet (adding sugar, jam, honey), neutral (without adding anything) or salty (with garlic and herbs). There is a wonderful one on the site. The principle of creating a pie is exactly the same as in this recipe, but the ratio of ingredients in the dough is different).
  • Fresh berries. This is a classic version of crumble.
  • Chocolate. It can be crumbs, paste, ganache.
  • Nut butters, such as peanut butter.
  • I boldly include proven savory fillings in this item: meat, fish, vegetables (they are often stewed first), onions with eggs, sausage with cheese.

Forming products from grated dough

I have already described one option, when a kind of “sandwich” is prepared with a bottom and top layer of dough and a layer of jam. But there are other ways to make a pie:

  • The bottom layer is made from compacted crumbs. Often this option refers to “sides”. If you make such a “bowl” from dough, then you can use liquid jam for the pie. (this is an option for a classic streusel)
  • Only the bottom layer of grated dough. And on top of it is the filling.
  • Just the top layer of crumbled dough. Fresh berries are placed at the bottom of a greased form (you can additionally sprinkle with semolina (flour or sugar), but not necessarily). If desired, they can be sprinkled with sugar and/or spices. And crumbs of dough are placed on top. This is a classic crumble.

And if you want, you can make a pie from several layers of dough, topped with filling. I also baked such baked goods. Only then must the bottom layer be made of dough. In this case, I really liked cutting the pie* into small pieces and serving them like cakes. Sometimes I “decorate” such a cake, just like crumble, with ice cream. But you can use powdered sugar, chocolate, and the same jam, if it is liquid. In a word, whatever your heart desires will do!
*To avoid cutting, you can bake immediately in silicone muffin tins!
Now, it seems that’s it! I'm sure you have something to add to the article! And I’m really looking forward to your comments with tips on how else to prepare the grated pie, what ingredients to use, what you can use as a filling and how to shape the pie.
