Ruth Walls German Apple Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch cake pan.
• In a mixing bowl; beat oil and eggs with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat well.
• Combine the flour salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon together in a bowl. Slowly add this mixture to the egg mixture and mix until combined. The batter will be very thick. Fold in the apples by hand using a wooden spoon. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Let cake cool on a wire rack. Once cake is cool serve with a dusting of confectioners' sugar or with a Cream Cheese Frosting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and sea salt, and stir to blend. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, oil, and milk, and stir until well blended. Add the apples and stir to thoroughly coat them with the batter.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until fairly firm and golden, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, egg, and melted butter, and stir to blend. Set it aside.
• Remove the cake from the oven and pour the topping mixture over it. Return the cake to the oven and bake until the top is a deep golden brown and the cake feels quite firm when pressed with a fingertip, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the cake pan to a rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the sides of the pan, and release and remove the springform side, leaving the cake on the pan base. Serve at room temperature, cut into thin wedges.

Steps:

• Cake: Beat the eggs until light.
• Add and beat after each ingredient: oil, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, salt.
• Add the flour in 1/2 cup increments. It will be stiff.
• Fold in the walnuts.
• Fold in the apple slices.
• Pat the dough into an oblong cake pan that's been oiled and dusted with flour.
• Bake at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes (or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean).
• Frosting: Combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar. Whip until creamy. Pour over the cooled cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cake/Crust: Mix dry ingredients and cut in butter as for a pie crust (mixture should be "sandy" with small pea-sized lumps of butter).
• Add egg and milk and mix well.
• Pat into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 11 1/2 X 7 1/2 baking dish (I use large ceramic quiche pan).
• Filling: Arrange apple slices in a spiral around pan (I start outside and work in, eventually cutting pieces to fit).
• Topping: Mix topping ingredients and spread over apples. Bake for about 40 minutes or until apples are tender.
• Toward the end of the baking time you can also run it under a broiler to nicely brown the edges of the apples for the extra "wow" factor.

Steps:

• Grease 11 inch springform.
• Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C.
• For the topping: Peel, quarter and core apples.
• Make lengthwise cuts on the outer rounded side 1/8 inch apart, so that the apple quarter still holds together but will cook quicker.
• Brush with lemon juice to avoid browning.
• For the batter: Mix flour with baking powder.In a bowl cream butter with sugar, vanilla and lemon peel with a mixer.
• Add eggs, one at a time.
• Beat until mixture turns light yellow and has increased in volume.
• Add half of the flour and 1 tbs milk, mixing just until blended.
• Add rest of flour.
• Dough should have the consistency to drop slowly and heavily from a spoon, forming long tips.
• If too firm add another tbs of milk, if to soft add another tbs of flour.
• Mix to blend.
• Pour batter into greased form.
• Make a level surface with a wet spatula.
• Arrange apple quarters rounded side up on the dough to make a nice pattern,but leave a 1/2 inch rim along the side of your form.
• Apples will sink into dough while baking.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Sprinkle with raisins (optional).
• Put in the middle of the oven.
• Bake for 40-50 min at 350°F, until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
• Remove cake from oven.
• Melt apricot jam with water over low heat, pass through a sieve and brush the hot cake with it.
• Remove cake from the springform,let cool and serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat eggs and oil until smooth.
• Add next 6 ingredients and mix well.
• Fold in apples.
• Pour into greased 9 by 13 pan.
• Bake at 350F degrees for 50-55 minutes.
