A German bakery classic, Apfelstreuselkuchen is made by arranging apple slices over two-thirds of the dough and topping them with crumbled cinnamon dough. Rubbing the streusel between your fingertips creates the large crumbs that stay crisp after baking.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cream the Butter and Sugar

4 min

Beat the butter with half of the sugar for 4 minutes, until creamy.

2

Make the Cake Batter

6 min

Add the eggs and mix. Then add half of the flour and baking powder and mix to form a batter.

3

Arrange the Apples

8 min

Spread two-thirds of the batter in the pan and arrange the apple slices on top.

4

Add the Streusel

5 min

Rub the remaining flour, sugar, and butter together with your fingertips to make crumbs. Sprinkle them over the apples and dust with cinnamon.

5

Bake

30 min

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Reminder

Prepare the streusel by rubbing it between your fingertips; squeezing it in your palms will make one lump of dough instead of crumbs. Contains wheat (gluten), egg, and dairy (butter).

Streusel'i tarifteki gibi parmak uçlarımla ovdum, sekiz dilimlik kekte kırıntılar gerçekten iri ve çıtır kaldı, ama elma dilimlerimi biraz kalın kesince altta hafif hamur kaldı.

Fırınlama süresini tarifteki 30 dakikadan 38 dakikaya çıkardım çünkü elmalarım suluydu, sekiz dilimlik kek sonunda streusel'i tam istediğim kadar çıtır çıktı ve tabana hiç ıslaklık kalmadı.
