This is the first recipe experiment for my new blog. I have never made this before and am going to translate the recipe directly from Mum's 70 year old recipe book - Kochbüchel für das steirische Bauernhaus von Emilie Zeidler (n.d.). I may need a dictionary!
Apple Cake (Apfelkuchen)
Make a batter and beat well, with the following ingredients:
1/2 kg flour
60 gm butter
60 gm sugar
1 to 2 eggs
20 gm fresh yeast (I am using the equivalent in dry yeast)
Milk
salt
Put the batter in a warm place to rise.
Meanwhile, into 100 gm hot melted butter add 40 gm dry breadcrumbs,
1 1/2 kg peeled, cored and thinly sliced apples.
Cook until the apple is soft.
Add 60 gm sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon zest.
Take 1/2 the risen batter and roll it to finger thickness, and place onto a baking tray.
Cover with the prepared filling.
The other 1/2 of the risen batter is rolled out and cut into strips. The strips are placed criss-cross over the filling.
Leave to rise again. Bake in a moderate oven for 1/2 hour.
Well, that's the plan. I'll get back with the results and some photos!
