SANDRA'S GERMAN APPLE CAKE
My mother sent me this unusual recipe back in the 70's. I was baking rolls in a health food restaurant at the time. The restaurant wanted me to come up with a dessert for the menu, so I made my mother's recipe using wholewheat flour, turbinado sugar and organic walnuts*. It was an enormous success! You should note there is no liquid in this recipe. The moisture that binds the ingredients comes from the eggs, oil and fresh apple slices. A pretty good electric mixer and/or strong arm is required to incorporate all the flour no matter what kind of flour you use. The result is more like a stiff dough than any cake batter I've ever seen. I continue to make this cake with wholewheat flour and turbinado sugar because I like the result. You, of course, may use any flour and sugar you want. *Nostalgia Note: In 1974, organic walnuts came from a tree in their original packaging called a shell. To use the nut, the shell had to be broken with something hard called a nut cracker and then the nutmeat was picked out; repeat until the amount of nutmeats equal what the recipe calls for. Today, walnuts come in a bag and if there are any shells involved you can lodge a complaint.

Tips:
- Use a combination of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor. Some good varieties to try include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too mushy.
- If you don't have any lemon juice on hand, you can use white vinegar instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as vinegar is more acidic than lemon juice.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45 minutes, but it may vary depending on your oven.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
Conclusion:
This classic German apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tart apples, cinnamon, and sugar creates a flavor that is irresistible. Serve this cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly special treat.
