Pears provide a different flavor profile while maintaining moisture.

Mix 170 g sugar with 2 eggs in a bowl, breaking the eggs and removing any shell pieces.

In a large bowl, combine 440 g all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and 170 g butter, mixing by hand to crumble the butter into the flour.

Add 2 tablespoons crème fraîche to the mixture and continue mixing.

Stir in 1 sachet baking powder and the sugar-egg mixture, mixing until combined.

If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it no longer sticks to your fingers.

Once the dough is homogeneous, divide it in half; place one half in the freezer and the other half in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

Prepare the apples by coring and grating them using a large grater, or cutting them into small pieces if preferred.

Press the grated apples to remove excess juice, which should be discarded or can be consumed separately.

Grease a rectangular baking dish (approximately 20x35 cm and 4-5 cm deep) with butter and line it with parchment paper.

Spread the dough in the bottom of the dish, either by rolling it out or by placing strips of dough, ensuring it covers the base evenly.

In a bowl, mix the grated apples with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and spread them evenly over the dough in the baking dish.

Retrieve the dough from the freezer and grate it over the apples for a topping.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the dessert for 45 minutes until cooked through.

Allow the cake to cool slightly before removing it from the dish using the parchment paper.

Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
