Apfelkuchen mit Gitter – Ein klassisches Rezept für einen fruchtig-aromatischen Genuss

Ingredients

300 g flour
100 g sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla sugar
200 g butter
1 egg

1 kg apples (e.g. Boskop)
2 – 4 tbsp water
1 to 2 tablespoons raisins
50 g sugar
1 dash of lemon juice
1 pinch of cinnamon

For spreading:
1 egg yolk

Here’s how to prepare it:

For the dough, combine the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add the butter in small pieces, mix in the egg, and knead into a smooth dough. Refrigerate the shortcrust pastry for about 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees fan.

Meanwhile, line a 24 cm springform pan with baking paper. Line the bottom of the pan with two-thirds of the dough and form a rim about 3 cm high. Prick the bottom several times with a fork. Pre-bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

For the filling, peel and core the apples, then quarter, dice, or thinly slice them. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the apples and sauté for about 10 minutes.

Place the apples in a bowl and mix with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and raisins.

Spread the apple mixture on the base.

Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips about 1-2 cm wide. Arrange them evenly spaced over the apples to form a lattice. Brush the lattice with egg yolk and bake for another 45 minutes.

Let the cake cool and dust with powdered sugar.
