German Apple Cake-Tart image

This is a fairly simple and very elegant apple tart in a deliciously thick crust with spirals of apple wedges graced with a delicious cinnamon-sugar topping. I wanted a safe place to keep it and my mom's paper copy is pretty tattered from so many uses! The cake/crust part is good for a variety of other recipes too (a quick pat-in-the-pan quiche crust, for example).

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
4 -5 large apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 teaspoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cake/Crust: Mix dry ingredients and cut in butter as for a pie crust (mixture should be "sandy" with small pea-sized lumps of butter).
  • Add egg and milk and mix well.
  • Pat into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 11 1/2 X 7 1/2 baking dish (I use large ceramic quiche pan).
  • Filling: Arrange apple slices in a spiral around pan (I start outside and work in, eventually cutting pieces to fit).
  • Topping: Mix topping ingredients and spread over apples. Bake for about 40 minutes or until apples are tender.
  • Toward the end of the baking time you can also run it under a broiler to nicely brown the edges of the apples for the extra "wow" factor.
