Making the cake
Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare a 24cm springform pan with butter and flour.
Flatten the dough into a disc and roll the dough out with a floured rolling pin As you are rolling the dough, turn the dough circle a couple times to make sure it is not sticking to the counter and add more flour to your work surface as needed. Transfer the dough circle to pan. To transfer the dough without tearing it, loosely wrap the pie dough around your rolling pin and then unroll it over your springform pan. Trim the edges so there is only about a bit of overhang
Place half of the apple pie batter on top of the crust, spreading until smooth. Top with all the apples and the layering the rest of the apple pie batter.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 20 minutes, until golden brown.
