I fell in love with apfelkuchen when I was in 6th grade. Our teacher let us order from a local German bakery and eat our treats in class once a month. These flavors bring back wonderful memories. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1 1/8 cups warm milk |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast |
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 pinch salt |
3 large apples - peeled, cored, and sliced |
1 cup white sugar |
3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour |
2 ounces candied lemon peel, chopped (optional) |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 pinch salt |
1/2 cup butter |
Directions:
1. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. Beat 2 1/4 cup flour, milk, 1/4 cup sugar, yeast, 6 tablespoons butter, vanilla extract, and 1 pinch salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high until dough is smooth, about 5 minutes; spread into baking dish and press dough up the sides. Press apple slices into dough.
3. Mix 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour, candied lemon peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1 pinch salt in a bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle over apples. Allow dough to rise for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
5. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
