Why is this pie called lazy?

The name of this dessert remains a mystery—no one knows for certain how it originated. Some believe it comes from the simplicity of stretching just two layers of dough, while others claim that the recipe was created by a woman named Lena.

Although its name's origin is unclear, one thing is certain—once you try it, you won't be lazy to make it again!

Recipe for a Delicious Lazy Pie

 

Ingredients:

 

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 cup oil

2 cups flour

1 cup yogurt or sour milk

1 packet baking powder

 

Preparation:

 

Mix all the ingredients together to form a dough that is firm enough to roll out with a rolling pin. Half of the dough is rolled out and baked while the filling is prepared. The filling requires about 1 kg of grated apples, which can optionally be lightly stewed with a bit of oil. Semolina, cinnamon, sugar, or even other fruits can be added to taste.

Once the base is baked, the filling is spread over it, followed by the remaining dough. When the pie is fully baked, it is typically dusted with powdered sugar and cut into squares.
