Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium apples
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round springform pan or similar baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
Cut the 0.5 cup of unsalted butter into small cubes and blend it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 1 large egg to the mixture and stir until it forms a slightly crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared baking pan to form the base.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the 3 medium apples. Layer the apple slices evenly over the dough in the pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring all slices are well coated.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the top for added flavor and aroma.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the sour cream topping is set and slightly golden.
Allow the Kuchen to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for best results.
