German Cake (Apfelkuchen)

-

 History:


Although its name is associated with Germany, Torta Alemana actually originated in Argentina. It was created by German immigrants who adapted the famous Black Forest cake to the ingredients available in their new home. Thus was born this delicious apple pie, which combines German tradition with local flavors.


Ingredients:

300 g wheat flour

200 g cold butter

100 g sugar

1 pinch of salt

5 apples (preferably German varieties like Elstar or Braeburn)

2 teaspoons cinnamon powder

150 g brown sugar

4 eggs

200 ml whipping cream

100 g sliced almonds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

In a large bowl, mix the flour, butter, sugar and salt until you obtain a homogeneous dough.

Spread the dough in a greased and floured tart pan.

Peel the apples and cut them into thin slices. Place them on top of the dough in the pan.

Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Beat the eggs with the cream and pour this mixture over the apples.

Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.

Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Let cool before serving.
