FRUIT KUCHEN

Fruit Kuchen image

This German recipe-passed down by my grandma-is one of the first desserts I made when I was young. I remember patting the crust into the pan many times. Now I work at a bakery but still make it often, especially in the summer when fresh fruit is plentiful. -Connie Meiselwitz, Kiel, Wisconsin
