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.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. The apples were tender and juicy, but the cake itself was a bit crumbly. I would recommend adding a bit more moisture to the batter next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The cake was moist and the apples were cooked perfectly. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe if you don't like your cakes too sweet.
