Begin by kneading the dough and adding the crushed yeast. Slice the apples into rounds, leaving the skin on if you prefer, but remove the seeds. Sprinkle the apple slices with cinnamon and a spoonful of sugar.
Divide the dough into two parts. Roll out one half and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Arrange the apples evenly on top, then cover them with the second layer of dough.
Place the dish in a preheated oven (about 400°F or 200°C) and bake for 40 minutes. When the pie is done, take it out of the oven and dust it with powdered sugar mixed with vanilla sugar. Let it cool slightly before cutting it into squares and arranging the pieces on a serving plate.
For this recipe, you’ll need: 4 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar, 2 eggs, 250g of margarine (about 1 cup), 20g of yeast (about 0.7 oz), a packet of vanilla sugar, 1 tablespoon of oil, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, a pinch of salt, 1 kg of Antonovka apples (about 2.2 lbs), 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon.
