Serves: 1 Kuchen
Ingredients
- 300g Äpfel
- 250g Mehl
- 125g Zucker
- 125g Butter
- 1 Päckchen Vanillepuddingpulver
- 500ml Milch
- 1 TL Backpulver
- 1 TL Zimt
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease a round cake pan (approximately 26 cm in diameter) with butter or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small cubes or thin slices. Set them aside in a bowl and sprinkle a little cinnamon over them to enhance their flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour (250g), baking powder (1 TL), and cinnamon (1 TL). Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter (125g) and sugar (125g) until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk (500ml). Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions using the vanilla pudding powder (1 Päckchen) and the remaining milk. Allow the pudding to cool slightly.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula. Then, spread the prepared vanilla pudding over the batter.
- Next, layer the apple pieces evenly over the pudding. Finally, pour the remaining cake batter on top of the apples, spreading it gently to cover them.
- For the streusel topping, in a small bowl, combine 100g of flour, 50g of sugar, and 60g of softened butter. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients together until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture generously over the top of the cake batter in the pan.
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Apfel Streuselkuchen mit Pudding warm or at room temperature, optionally dusting with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your delicious German apple crumble cake!
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, opt for a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. This balance will enhance the overall taste of your cake.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can result in a dense cake, so be gentle!
- Cool the Pudding: Allow the vanilla pudding to cool slightly before layering it in the cake. This prevents it from melting into the batter, keeping your layers distinct.
- Perfect Streusel: For a crumbly streusel topping, make sure your butter is softened but not melted. Use your fingers to mix it with flour and sugar until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Check for Doneness: Baking times can vary, so keep an eye on your cake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Serve Warm: This cake is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant touch!
- Storage: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. With these tips, you’re well on your way to baking the perfect Apfel Streuselkuchen mit Pudding that will wow your guests and satisfy your sweet cravings!
