Apple Kuchen



From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser



_______________________________________


As I was browsing Aunt Kay's extensive recipe collection, I came across a newspaper clipping from 1957 for this apple kuchen recipe that was passed down for generations. Surprisingly mild, it's perfect for breakfast or brunch.



Grease & flour a 13 x 9 pan.

Mix together "as you would for biscuits."

I use a food processor, but a pastry blender would work too.

1/4 c sugar

1 1/2 c flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

2 Tbsp butter

2/3 c milk

"Using a fork, spread the dough thinly. The dough is sticky and the going is hard, but keep at it- it WILL spread." Yeah, it was hard. I didn't have luck with the fork method, so I came up with my own. Set 2 -3 Tbsp flour in a bowl. Dip fingers in flour, pat dough. Repeat, repeat, repeat.


Beat together:

1 egg

1 tsp water

Pour over dough, spreading to cover.


Peel and slice thinly:

5 or 6 "good sized apples"

Stick the apples into the dough, "skin side" up.


Combine and sprinkle over apples:

1c brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg


Dot with

2 Tbsp butter

​

Bake @ 400 for 25 minutes or until dough is golden.

Serve warm.
