Ingredients

• Kuchen:
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 tsp milk
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 3-4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• Streusel:
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 TB flour
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 TB butter, cut into small pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and butter. Blend with a pastry blender or your hands. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks. Add vanilla and milk. Add egg mixture to the crumbled dry ingredients, stir gently with a spoon until just blended. Press the dough on the bottom and up the sides of an 8x12x2 greased glass baking dish. You may use a 9x13 pan but the crust will be thinner, and a larger sized apple should be used so you will have 3 rows of apple slices.

In a separate bowl, combine streusel ingredients and blend with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles peas. Sprinkle over apple slices.

Bake at 325 for 45-50 minutes (35-40 minutes if using 9x13 pan.) Bake until the crust is golden brown and the apples look nicely glazed.
