- Why is it too sour?
- It depends on the apple variety. If using tart apples (e.g. Granny Smith), add a little more sugar or raisins. Gala or Jonagold are ideal for baking.
- Can I use fine rolled oats?
- Yes, absolutely! Fine rolled oats bind moisture better and are less noticeable in the filling.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Wash the apples, peel them (or leave the skin on for more fibre), and grate them on a coarse grater.
Mix the grated apple with the lemon juice immediately so it doesn't turn brown. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon.
Let the apples stand for 5-10 minutes until they release juice. Then squeeze out most of the liquid (don't throw it away, drink it, it's pure apple juice!).
Mix the oats into the squeezed apple. Leave a little of the oats (approx. 1 tablespoon) to sprinkle on the pastry.
Roll out the puff pastry. Sprinkle the reserved oats thinly down the middle. Mound the apple filling on top in a longitudinal strip.
Fold up the edges of the pastry, seal the ends. Brush the top with beaten egg and prick with a fork.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Let cool to lukewarm before slicing.
