APFEL KUCHEN (APPLE CAKE)
This is my great grossmutter Weirauch's recipe. She came over to America from Germany as a teenager. It is one of the few "original" recipes I have of hers. The mace gives it a distinctive taste. I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:
- 1. Mix yeast with sugar and warm milk in a bowl. Let stand a few minutes until mixture bubbles. 2. Place flour in bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Add melted butter and yeast mixture and knead 5 to 6 minutes for a soft, shiny dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. 3. Remove dough from refrigerator and knead briefly on a floured board. Divide in half. Roll one piece to fit in the bottom of a 10x15" rimmed sheet pan or a slightly larger pan. 4. For apple filling grate apples on a coarse grater with large holes and squeeze out the juice well. Combine with sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add egg white to make filling more stable. Evenly spread apples on dough. 5. Roll out remaining dough to the same size and cover apples. (Dough will be quite thin.) Combine egg yolk with water and brush on surface of dough. Using a fork make a crisscross pattern on the glaze about 1" apart. 6. Place in a preheated 425F oven for 10 minutes and turn oven down to 350F. Bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until top is browned and cooked through. (If top is too brown cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.) 7. Cool and cut into squares. Delicious cold or at room temperature.

The Origins of Apfel Kuchen
The origins of apfel kuchen can be traced back to Germany, where it has been a staple dessert for centuries. The term "kuchen" in German simply means cake, but apfel kuchen is a specific type of cake that is made with apples. The recipe for apfel kuchen has been passed down through generations, and each family might have their own variation of the recipe.Regional Variations of Apfel Kuchen
Just like any other dessert, apfel kuchen has regional variations that make it unique to each area. For example, in Germany, the Black Forest region is famous for its version of apfel kuchen, which uses sour cream and streusel (a crumbly topping made with butter, sugar, and flour).
