OMA'S APFELKUCHEN (GRANDMA'S APPLE CAKE)
My husband's German family calls this Oma's apfelkuchen, which translates to "Grandma's apple cake." They've been sharing the recipe for more than 150 years. I use Granny Smith apples, but any variety works. -Amy Kirchen, Loveland, Ohio

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.

OMA'S APFELKUCHEN
or Sunken Apple cake. This is based on a recipe my grandmother used. The apples are placed on top of the dough, which raises as baked, making the apples appear as if they have sunk into the cake.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat the butter or margarine with a wooden spoon or mixer until creamy. Slowly add the sugar, together with the vanilla sugar, salt and almond extract, alternating with the eggs. Mix the dough until it is very foamy and the sugar has been thoroughly dissolved. Sift in the flour with the baking powder, add the ground almonds, and mix everything together quickly.
- Carefully coat a springform with butter or margarine. Pour the batter in and smooth down the surface. Peel the apples, cut in half lengthwise, and remove the cores. Cut into the outer surface a few times with a knife, but don't cut all the way through. Brush apples with the lemon juice. Place the apples close together onto the batter, core side down. Soak the currants for a short time in hot water, wash thoroughly and rub dry in a cloth. Sprinkle the currants, together with the slivered almonds over the apples. Bake the cake at 350 degrees for 75-80 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool before dusting with icing sugar.
- Serve with whipped cream.
- Note: I always leave out the optional items as I find they don't they add much to the flavour of the cake.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix 1 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, 2 tsp sugar, and salt and sift once.
- Cut 1/2 cup butter into dry mix with a pastry blender to pea size.
- In a small bowl, beat egg with 2 T milk and add to dry mix.
- Mix thoroughly and pat dough into a greased or oiled 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Pare and core apples.
- 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.
- Dot apples with 2 T butter and mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 Tbs flour and cinnamon together.
- Spread dry topping over dotted apples, and bake in oven for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown.
Tips:
- Use a food processor or pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour. This will create a light and flaky crust.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the apples. This will help prevent the apples from browning.
- Toss the apples with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This will add flavor to the apples.
- Arrange the apples in the pie crust. Be sure to leave a little space between the apples so that they can cook evenly.
- Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk. This will help the crust brown.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Conclusion:
Oma's Apfelkuchen is a delicious and easy-to-make apple pie. With its flaky crust and tender apples, this pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a classic dessert, give Oma's Apfelkuchen a try.
