German apple torte is a classic dessert that combines sweet apples, a flaky crust, and a rich, creamy filling. The perfect German apple torte should have a slightly crispy bottom crust, a soft, tender center, and a top that is both golden brown and slightly caramelized. The apples should be cooked until they are soft and tender, but still hold their shape. The filling should be light and fluffy, with a hint of tangy sweetness from the apples. Topped with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, this delectable treat is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or pastry blender to quickly and easily combine the butter and flour for the crust.
  • If you don't have a food processor or pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Be sure to press the crust firmly into the bottom and sides of the pan so that it doesn't shrink during baking.
  • Use a sharp knife to peel and slice the apples. This will help to prevent them from browning.
  • Toss the apples with the sugar and cinnamon before adding them to the crust. This will help to distribute the flavor evenly.
  • Bake the torte for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  • Let the torte cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
