La apple pie for every day 

 Apple pie, the one for every day

Grandma's pies ... this in particular has always come to my mind.
It was not a cake for special occasions:
simply a cake for every day; but very good!

 And if I was there, of course, I had to collaborate in the preparation ... at the beginning I started to cream the butter and sugar and then I learned to whisk the egg whites perfectly, without mechanical aids!
Meanwhile my grandmother prepared everything else and I stayed there, waiting for the cake to come out of the oven and cool enough to finally be bitten! 

I had never transcribed the recipe and so I recreated it, a little 'by heart, a little' comparing similar versions.

And I still like it!

 It is not a complicated cake: as I wrote it is a dessert that is good for every day; here's how to prepare it.

First, peel the apples and cut into slices.
Keep them aside in a bowl with a little lemon juice and sugar (if you want to add an idea, but just an idea, of cinnamon - I like it).

Mix carefully sugar and butter until creamy
(if you prepare the dough by hand it is useful to work the butter first with the fork until it is already creamy, then incorporate the sugar little by little).
Continue with the egg yolks, stir and pour the milk.

 At this point add the flour, little by little, and finally vanilla and yeast for cakes (if you use vanilla yeast you can avoid adding vanilla).

Whisk the egg whites to snow (I have always done this, others do not use it; it gives me the idea of ​​a softer dough - and then my grandmother was like that!) and add them gently to the dough (v. dough variant).

 Pour into a buttered and floured cake tin. Add the apples letting them penetrate into the dough (it is very easy, the dough is very soft). Bake in 180 ° for 40 '(static oven or hot air with lower heat).

At the end of cooking, however, check that the cake is cooked well (usual method of the steccolino ...).
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and let cool on a wire rack.
Slicing and eating.
