Step by step
If you're in a hurry: the compact recipe card further down sums it all up.
Making the shortcrust pastry
1
Rub flour and cold butter into crumbs
Put the White flour together with the cold butter into a Bowl and rub the two together with your hands into a crumbly mixture. Once that is achieved, add the whole egg and the remaining ingredients — sugar, vanilla seeds and salt — and mix everything together.
2
Knead and chill for half an hour
Mix everything in the Bowl until a kind of dough forms, then turn it out onto the work surface. Now knead it all into a smooth dough, press it a little flat and wrap it in cling film. The shortcrust pastry now has to chill for at least half an hour before you can roll it out.
Prepare the Sprinkles and filling
1
Knead the Sprinkles together and crumble
For the Sprinkles, mix the soft butter with the granulated sugar and then add the remaining ingredients. Knead everything into a dough and crumble it lightly again. Put the crumbs in the fridge for about 10 minutes. You can also do the crumbling only after chilling, if that's easier for you.
2
Beat the filling until fluffy
For the filling, beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Then stir in the whole egg, milk and natural yoghurt. Once a homogeneous mixture has formed, add the flour and Baking powder and briefly stir them in until everything is combined. You won't need the apples until the assembly.
Assembling the apple sprinkle tart
1
Preheat the oven, grease and flour the tin
Preheat the oven to 180 °C fan. Very important: grease the tin with butter and then dust it with flour. Make sure you really get into all the grooves of the tin — it would be a shame if the finished creation got stuck somewhere in the end.

2
Roll out the dough lengthways to 3 mm. Roll it up and unroll it over the tin
Take the chilled shortcrust pastry out of the fridge, put some flour on the work surface and roll out the dough lengthways to a thickness of 3 mm. It's best to use the rolling guides for this — they set the thickness so the base is evenly thin all over.
Put some flour on the surface of the dough and roll it loosely onto a large silicone rolling pin. Then carefully unroll the dough over the tin. This way the thin base goes into the tin in one piece without tearing.



This is what you need for it
3
Press into each groove and trim the edge
Press the dough into each groove of the Tart tin with your fingers so it takes on the shape and sticks. Then cut off the excess dough with a small straight knife.


4
Spread the filling and cut the apples
Spread the prepared filling evenly over the shortcrust pastry base — a Rubber scraper does the cleanest job. Then cut the apples into small pieces.


5
Distribute the apples, Sprinkles on top
Distribute the small apple pieces over the filling and press them down gently. Finally, add the prepared Sprinkles over the whole tart.


6
Bake for 20 minutes, turn the tray, finish baking for 20–25 minutes
The tart now goes into the oven preheated to 180 °C fan for about 20 minutes. Then turn the Baking tray once by 180 degrees horizontally — the front side moves to the back. The tart itself stays in place, it is not flipped over. Then finish baking it for another 20 to 25 minutes. The reason: most ovens bake more strongly at the back than at the front, and turning the tray ensures the tart bakes through evenly.
7
Dust with Sweet powdered snow
Take the finished tart out of the oven, let it cool briefly and dust it with Sweet powdered snow. Unlike icing sugar, it does not soak into the warm surface and stays white.

So it turns out perfectly, guaranteed
After 20 minutes, turn the tray – not the tart
Halfway through the baking time is the moment when you rotate the Baking tray 180 degrees horizontally: what was at the front goes to the back. The tart stays in place. Almost every household oven bakes more strongly at the back than at the front, and without this trick the Sprinkles at the back turn dark while the filling at the front is still moist.
Grease into every groove, or the tart will stick
The rectangular tin has wavy grooves, and that's exactly where the base tears off when you turn it out if a spot has stayed dry. Grease thoroughly into every groove with the brush and then dust with flour — simply tap out any excess flour.
No rectangular tin? The cake converter does the maths
Don't have a 35 × 11 cm tin? For a round tin Ø 24 cm, multiply all quantities by 1.2 — that's the 3× switch above. For any other size, enter the ingredients with their quantities into the cake converter and it will convert them.
Frequently asked questions
You rotate the Baking tray, not the tart. After the first 20 minutes, take out the tray and put it back rotated 180 degrees, so that the front side is now at the back. The tart stays in place and is not flipped upside down. The reason: most ovens bake more strongly at the back than at the front.
No. This tart is nut-free: shortcrust pastry, yoghurt filling, apples, Sprinkles. If you're looking for an apple cake with almonds, we have a separate recipe for that on the blog — the apple-almond cake.
Yes, and that makes this tart a great recipe for guests. Both the shortcrust pastry and the Sprinkles can wait covered in the fridge — the shortcrust pastry needs its half hour anyway and keeps well for a day. It's better to stir the filling fresh, because the Baking powder in it is already at work.
