OMA'S APFELKUCHEN (GRANDMA'S APPLE CAKE)
My husband's German family calls this Oma's apfelkuchen, which translates to "Grandma's apple cake." They've been sharing the recipe for more than 150 years. I use Granny Smith apples, but any variety works. -Amy Kirchen, Loveland, Ohio

APPLE KUCHEN
These bars should be made by patient bakers with a bit of time - they look best when the apples are lined up in neat columns. This is not to say that it makes any difference in the way they taste.
