This comes from a rich German heritage. Grandma always made the best apfel kuchen. Her recipes were always simple, but tasted great! Ingredients:
4 -5 cups baking apples, granny smith (or other) |
1 1/4 cups white flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons milk |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons white flour |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix 1 1/4 cup 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. In a small bowl, 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.
