I am so glad I can share with you this flavorful German Apple Streusel Cake -Apfelkuchen mit Streusel. I have tried many apple recipes and I can assure you, this is one of the best apple cakes I have ever made. It is so comforting, a perfect dessert for cozy fall days.Â
The cake consists of a soft crust with a tender and juicy apple and cinnamon filling and a crispy buttery crumble on top with toasted flaked almonds. You can serve it as is, or with whipped cream, ice cream or salted caramel sauce.Â
How to make German Apple Streusel Cake.Â
This apple cake is really easy to prepare. First, you need to make the cake crust. For this, you have to prepare an easy buttery dough. Mix butter with sugar until creamy, add then add the egg and vanilla. Incorporate the dry ingredients, flour, salt and baking powder. Use your hands to flatten the dough onto the bottom and sides of the cake pan. Refrigerate the crust until you prepare the rest of the ingredients.Â
Now it is time to prepare the streusel. For this you have to mix flour with sugar, salt and cinnamon. Incorporate butter using a fork. Add flaked almonds and set aside until you prepare the apple filling.Â
Peel and core the apples and cut them into slices. Place the cut apples into a large bowl and add some lemon juice to prevent apples from turning brown. Add some cinnamon and toss to coat.Â
Place the apples over the crust and top with the almond streusel. Bake until golden brown and let cool before serving. This cake is so satisfying and comforting that worth all the effort. Everybody will love it and ask for more.
