Description

This classic German Apple Cake is a delightful balance of soft, buttery sponge and sweet, tender fruit. The cake base is light and airy, soaked slightly by the juices of the baking apples, while the top is crowned with a crisp, cinnamon-sugar crumb that adds perfect texture. It is an ideal dessert for cozy autumn evenings or weekend brunches. The aroma of baking cinnamon and apples fills the kitchen, making it a comforting treat for family gatherings. Simple to assemble with pantry staples, this cake serves beautifully warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with shortening or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg until frothy.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and milk to the egg, beating until combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of the cake mix until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup cake mix, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
  7. Sprinkle half of the crumb mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  8. Arrange the sliced apples in neat rows on top of the crumb layer.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the apples.
  10. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  11. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Note

Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture, as they hold their shape during baking.

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat slices gently in the microwave for best flavor.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the milk with buttermilk or add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
