Ingredients for Apple Raspberry Lattice Cake

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • Almond Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Raspberry Jam
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled, cored, and sliced

How to Make Apple Raspberry Lattice Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the pastry: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the filling: Peel, core, and slice 4 large apples. In a bowl, toss the apples with 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  4. In a separate bowl, gently mix 1 cup raspberries with 2 tablespoons sugar.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pastry dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
  6. Spread the apple filling evenly over the pastry crust.
  7. Top with the raspberries.
  8. Roll out the remaining pastry dough and cut into 1-inch strips.
  9. Create a lattice top by weaving the pastry strips over and under each other across the filling.
  10. Trim and crimp the edges of the pastry.
  11. Brush the top with 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. Let cool completely before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
