Number Of Ingredients 18

¾ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
5 eggs
½ lemon, zested and juiced
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 pounds apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3 teaspoons cinnamon sugar
2 ½ cups applesauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon zest with the last egg.
  • Combine 2 3/4 cups flour and baking powder. Sift over butter mixture and quickly beat into batter with the electric mixer running on low speed.
  • Combine apple slices, lemon juice, and cinnamon sugar in a bowl and fold into batter. Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Spoon applesauce onto batter and spread out evenly.

This is the worst apple cake I've ever had. It's dry, dense, and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This cake is way too sweet! I couldn't even finish a single slice.

I've tried this recipe a few times now, and I've never been able to get it right. The cake always turns out dry and crumbly.

This cake was a disappointment. It didn't rise properly and it was very dense. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I wasn't impressed with this cake. It was dry and the apples were tough. I won't be making it again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

This cake is so moist and flavorful. The apples give it a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the cake. I love that it's a one-pan recipe, too.

I've made this apple cake several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The cake is so moist and flavorful, and the apples add a nice tartness. I love that it's a one-pan recipe, too.

This German apple cake was a hit! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the apples were perfectly tender. I will definitely be making this again.
