You know that desire that comes at a certain point in October to wear our favorite sweater? Or to wrap ourselves in that warm and soft warm scarf like a hug? The woven pie, or the twisted cake that is driving bakeries all over the world crazy, seems to have fully understood this ephemeral autumn feeling. And if the filling of the tart is at the pastry chef's discretion, all the rules of this dessert play on the decoration that must remember as much as possible the texture of a knit.
To find the right inspiration, we did a ride on Instagram and we have collected the best posts that respond to the hashtag #woven.

Weaves, motifs and loom-like systems. Which, when it comes to cakes (sweet or savory), translates into a particular processing of the topping based on shortcrust pastry or puff pastry which, once cooked, will give the desired effect.
First you need to realize the base of the cake. We have chosen the apple tart and cream, which you can find below:

There surface processing, must be done separately as shown in the photo below.

At this point we will mount it on the cake taking care to make it adhere well along the entire edge.

The effect we will get will be that of a delicious intertwined apple pie.

But this year's trend asks us to make an extra effort. The cover image, published by @culturacolectivaplus, shows a cake made with a wholemeal dough that has been half colored pink to create a pleasant color contrast.

To achieve it in this way will be enough divide the dough for decoration into two portions. You will treat one with del food coloring in gel. At this point you will roll out the two loaves of shortcrust pastry, reduce them into small strips that you will intertwine by imitating the motif of a mesh.
You will bake as indicated in the recipe of the tart with apples and cream that we have seen above and … you will taste the legendary woven pie!
