German Apple Cake With Crumble Topping
Ingredients
For the cake batter:
- 130 g Butter
- ½ cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Sachet Vanilla sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
For the apple filling:
- 2 lb Apples, Weight BEFORE peeling and coring
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 40 g sugar Optional
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the sprinkles:
- 160 g Flour
- 80 g Sugar
- 80 g Butter
- 1 Sachet Vanilla sugar
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Grease a 26 cm springform pan and line the bottom of the pan with baking paper.
For the cake batter:
- Knead all ingredients for the cake dough with the dough hook until a smooth dough is obtained.
- Then wrap the dough in a piece of cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180 degrees top and bottom heat.
For the apple-filling:
- Peel and core the apples. Then halve them and cut them into small pieces.
- Sprinkle the apple pieces with lemon juice, add the cinnamon and mix everything well.
For the crumble dough:
- Knead flour, sugar, butter, vanilla sugar and cinnamon in a bowl with your hands to form crumbles.
Assemble:
- Roll out the cake dough in a circle on a floured work surface.
- Then put the dough into the springform pan and make a rim about 4 cm high with your hands.
- Tip: If you do not succeed, you can also press the dough completely into the springform pan with your hands. You can also roll out a part of the dough directly on the bottom of the springform pan and form a border with the rest of the dough.
- Now spread the apple filling in the springform pan.
- Finally spread the crumbles as a topping on the apple pie.
- Now bake the apple pie for about 55 minutes on a medium rack.
- Tip: If the crumbles get too dark, you can cover them with aluminum foil.
- After the baking time, take the cake out and let it cool down before removing it from the springform pan.
