German Apple Cake Recipe

 When it comes to baking, a homemade German apple cake stands out for its delightful balance of flavors, boasting more apples than dough. This recipe not only ensures a soft, moist interior but also features a perfectly crusty top that will have everyone reaching for seconds. As the cake bakes, the smell will envelop your kitchen, inviting everyone to gather around and savor this classic treat perfect for any occasion.

In this German apple cake recipe, I have five medium-sized apples. Which are fresh and juicy from my nearby store. With a sharp knife peel off the outer skin and cut the apples into thin slices then put them in a large size bowl and drizzle with lemon juice and cinnamon sugar.

There are the main things you need: 2 eggs, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and milk.. And don’t forget the vanilla extract. It tastes so much better.

But what truly sets this German apple cake apart is the topping made with browned butter and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.

You’ll add it just before the cake finishes baking, which means removing the cake from the oven after about 30 minutes. Once the topping is on, return the German apple cake to bake for another 15 minutes to pure perfection.

During this final stage, the butter and sugar meld together in the heat, creating a golden, crisp crust that’s simply divine.

We absolutely love this wonderfully simple apple cake with a spoonful of whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. To me, it’s the ultimate dessert or a delightful treat to enjoy with afternoon tea.


Here’s a little tip: this apple cake is at its best when it’s still slightly warm. It’s hard to resist, I know, but the wait is so worth it.

If you’re anything like me, you simply can’t resist the warm, sweet scent of cinnamon and apples filling the kitchen. It’s absolutely irresistible!

By the way, you don’t need a hand mixer to make this simple recipe.

I just used a regular whisk, and the apple cake came together effortlessly in no time.
