Grandma Geldner's Apfel Kuchen (Apple Kuchen)
By: WI Cheesehead
Jan 18, 2007
This comes from a rich German heritage. Grandma always made the best "apfel" kuchen. Her recipes were always simple, but tasted great!
SERVES 8 -10
Ingredients
- 4-5 cups baking apples, Granny Smith (or other)
- 1 1/4 cups white flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F.2
Mix 1 1/4C flour, baking powder, 2 tsp sugar, and salt and sift once.3
Cut 1/2 cup butter into dry mix with a pastry blender to pea size.4
Beat egg with 2 T milk, and add to dry mix.5
Mix thoroughly and pat dough into a greased or oiled 9x13-inch baking dish.6
Pare and core apples.7
Cut into thin wedge slices and place on dough in rows until covered. We would cover the thin end of one apple with the thick end of the other.8
Dot apples with 2 T butter and mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 Tbs flour and cinnamon together.9
Spread dry topping over dotted apples, and bake in oven for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown.

Simple, delicious, homey, no unusual ingredients, what more could you ask for? The crust is similar to shortbread, came together like a dream. Could use this crust with canned or fresh peaches, pears, blueberries, etc. Good warm or cold. All 6 in my family gave it a thumbs-up!

Excellent German apple cake! DH is German and this is very close to the way his Mother makes it. Mine did need to cook the full 45 minutes. This is very buttery and sweet. I did use the tart Granny Smith apples. It took 3 good size ones to cover the top of the dough. DH had a slice after dinner and told me not to take the rest to far cuz he was going to need another slice before bedtime. Thanks WI Cheesehead for posting.

We enjoyed this kuchen! The pastry was so easy to make in the food processor. A light shortbread type crust that is also tender and flakey with a great butter flavor. I used Empire apples and added a few more but I think I would have preferred a bit tarter apple. This would be very easy to put together for unexpected guests or put in the freezer to bake at a later time. Thank you WI Cheesehead for a nice treat!
