Apple Cake Pie

I love this time of year when there is a chill to the air. It is the perfect time to bake.
My family love the cake pie the best. It is a fairly basic cake recipe using the fresh apples & are delicious tool . When I made it the entire floor, we lived on, was filled with a sweet apple aroma.

Ingredients:

Basic coffee-cake dough:
  1. 2 eggs, well beaten
  2. ¼ cup milk, warmed
  3. 1 pkg (or 1 tbsp) dry yeast
  4. ¼ cup warm water
  5. ½ cup butter (1 stick, melted but not hot)
  6. ¼ cup sugar
  7. ½ tsp. Salt
  8. 1 tsp. Grated lemon peel
  9. 3 cup flour (more if needed)

How to Combine:

Pour luke warm water, yeast, and sugar in mixing bowl.

Add melted (not hot) butter, warmed milk, salt, lemon peel, and beaten eggs. Mix well.

Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each cup. Add more flour, if necessary, to make a smooth dough, and turn out onto a floured surface. Knead very lightly.

Let rise for about 1 hour, punch down and let rest for 10 min.

Spread dough in 2 well greased 9 inch round or square cake pans, pushing it up on the sides as for pie crusts.

TOPPING FOR APFEL KUCHEN (1 Apple cake)

  1. 3 medium sized apples
  2. 1/3 cup sugar (white or brown)
  3. 2 tbsp bread crumbs
  4. 2 tsp. Cinnamon
  5. 4 tbsp melted butter

Peel and core apples, then cut into ¼ inch slices. Arrange in overlapping circles (or in random fashion if in a hurry) on top of dough. Drizzle melted butter over the fruit and crust, sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar and crumbs. Let rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 350o for 35 or 40 minutes.
