This is an amazing apple cake with a very high fruit content. It is very easy to make and does not take a lot of time. Heads up, the ingredient list is correct, so if (when) you come to that point where you ask yourself if you misread something as you have way too less dough for the amount of apples, just have faith and go along. Ps: thanks for the recipe Denize.

Ingredients

• 1.5kg sour apples
• 250g wheat flour
• 125g melted butter
• 125g sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 pkg baking powder
• dash of salt

Instructions

Peel, core and slice the apples. Melt the butter and mix all ingredients (except the apples) together. Once you got a nice dough, mix in the apples. This looks like there is way too little dough for all those apples, but it is not. There is just enough dough to cover up the slices. That is fine and what you want to archive.

Butter a baking form and add flour it. You can also use crumbs instead. Get everything in a baking form and press it into shape. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and let the cake bake for 50-55 minutes.

You can add some butter/sugar/cinnamon after 40 minutes of baking for some extra crust.

Tips

• The simpler the baking form is, the simpler it will be to get it out. Always use one with a flat bottom or a silicon one, so you can easily cut or remove it.
• Sour apples are key to the perfect cake. If you have sweet ones, add the juice of 1 to 2 lemons in addition
• reducing the sugar in the dough does not help in case you have sweet apples. I tried to reduce the sugar in the dough by half, though in the end the overall sweetness was still very high, but the cake tasted doughy due to the lack of sugar in the dough
• do not use fancy forms for this cake. It’s hard to get the cake out.
