5

Start adding the EXTRA sorghum flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, and gently knead until you get a soft but not sticky dough. Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape it into a ball, wrap each ball in plastic, and put it in the fridge for about 35-40 minutes.

6

Roll one ball of dough in between two parchment paper sheets until you get a rectangle of about 11″x9.5″. Gently slide the paper with the dough layer on the sheet pan, dust it with some sorghum flour, and place it in the fridge. Repeat with the second layer.

Now evenly spread the apple filling on the first layer, after you dust it with a bit of sorghum flour.

8

Place the second layer on top of the apple filling. Don't worry if it is not perfect. The top layer will crack after baking anyway. Brush the top layer with the egg wash.

Assemble cake

9

Bake for about 40 minutes in a preheated oven at 350F/180C or until the top layer is golden. Cool before slicing.

Bake and enjoy
