Simple Apple Cake with a lot of Apples

This simple apple cake with a sugar and cinnamon crust is exactly the kind of cake I like. It basically is a lot of apple cubes that are held together by a bit of batter. Yes, you will need to peel and cut 1 kilo of apples, but other than that it comes together quickly. I personally am a huge fan of this cinnamon and sugar crust, it simply takes it to the next level. It is rather simple, the cake is baking and after about 30 minutes you sprinkle it with sugar mixed with cinnamon. You will then need to bake the cake for another 15 minutes and then it is done. Voilá, there you have the magic happen. I can only encourage you to make this cake while it is still so cold and wintery.

Simple Apple Streusel Cake

Ole from the German blog Nimmersatt has a legendary apple cake on his blog, which has been on my baking list forever. I finally have come around to making it. The recipe is from his beloved granny (actually not his real grandma, but a neighbor that took him under her wings) that sounds very much like my own grandma. Just as granny Hanna would always have a cake in the house and offer it to friends and family, so did my grandma. My grandma was a very good cook and always made something sweet. If it was somebody’s birthday, there would be so much cake and so many different pastries that the table would almost break down. She always made too much, but that is how she liked it. Usually her cakes were simple, one typical one would be a sheet cake with fruits and crumbs or peppernuts.
