I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I loved this kuchen. The almonds and sugar topping were the perfect balance to the tartness of the cranberries.

I didn't have any almonds on hand, so I used chopped walnuts instead. The kuchen still turned out great!

This kuchen was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the filling.
