It's just flour -- and a crappy cellphone camera that makes all food look like a horror movie prop. 100% rye dough is low on gluten and elasticity, so the cracking is inevitable (and it looks nice when baked and photographed by professionals).

It's a cabbage in the same way as broccoli is.

I'd argue it's more so, because you're eating the same part of the plant in kale or Green cabbage: the leaft, unlike brussels sprouts, cauliflower or broccoli.

I have spent a few days at my Granny's... Now I'm coming back to proudly present you her speciality of the house!

Spoiler: Granny‘s apple cake. (click to show/hide)

The buiscuit is delightful and the recipe is surprisingly simple: nothing but 4 eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 cup of flour mixed together. The most important thing is NO SALT. She also adds some cowberry to the apples when she has any, but this is optional. Now I'm full of self-contradictions: can't deside who is a better cook, she or Mom or me...

That looks sooo good

[Bohandas]

It does. But it looks more like a pie than a cake.

It might be a pie. It's just that I don't know what is the difference between a cake and a pie for a better english-speaker than me. You've seen what I call a cake and I was sure that  pies are something like

Am I wrong?

[GiglameshDespair]

That's a pasty.

[Bauglir]

The cakepie is an interesting beast - the filling looks somewhat cakey, as though the apples were suspended in some kind of batter. Perhaps it is truly neither cake nor pie, in that case! Merely delicious.

Incidentally, the English-speaker distinction between pie and cake is that a pie is a pastry shell with some kind of filling, while a cake is a solid lump of baked batter. Baked dough, as opposed to batter, is some kind of bread. The line between cake and bread is actually fairly hazy - some fruitcake recipes are rather like sweet breads (not sweetbreads), while some quick bread recipes are akin to loaf-shaped cakes.

[Bohandas]

So GD's suggestion of "pastry" would probably be the best term as it encompasses both and the dish in question appears to have aspects of both.

Cake = solid, bread-like flavored material. It might have layers of frosting, or jam, or something else, however the main part of the dessert is the cake material

Pie = Crust surrounding and holding something. Usually fruit filling, but sometimes other things like chocolate. The main part of the dessert is the filling.

[Bohandas]

It appears to be a crust surrounding and holding a solid bread-like flavored material; so I suppose either would work.

It certainly looks good whatever it is.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Though pies can also (and are sometimes, in some places, only know for) being filled with meat/gravey/veggies as a main dish/entree. Meat pies (only one that I know by name is sheperds pie) are just great

[Sheb]

And then you have Quiche, which are salted pies with a egg and cream and stuff filling in addition of whatever you put in.
