Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F/180C.
Peel and grate the apples. Transfer them into a bowl and mix in the cinnamon.
In a large bowl mix the semolina, flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Line a baking dish (the one I used is 11x7 inches) with parchment paper. Start layering the pie, 1 cup semolina mixture followed by a layer of apples. Repeat and make sure you end up with an apple layer on top.
Mix the milk and butter and pour over the pie. Pierce the pie with a fork so the milk mixture passes through all the layers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

Tips
- Opt for firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They hold their shape and add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the pie.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. You can use less sugar if you prefer a less sweet cake or if your apples are particularly sweet.
- Experiment with spices and flavors. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are classic choices, but you can get creative with cardamom, cloves, or citrus zest for a unique twist.
- Consider adding mix-ins like chopped nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries for added texture and flavor.
- Apple semolina pie pairs well with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Consider adding these accompaniments when serving.
