AUTHENTIC GERMAN KUCHEN | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Authentic German Kuchen | Just A Pinch Recipes image

All cultures have some type of sweet dough and this German Kuchen is a great example. Kuchen is the German word for cake. The dough is slightly sweet and fluffy and tasty on its own. But, the toppings are where this recipe gets fun. The cinnamon topping is classic and almost like a cinnamon streusel. If you love cherries, try the cherry toppings. It's a wonderful complement to the bread. We'll admit, the butter topping had us confused. There's no butter! Once baked, it sinks to the bottom creates a buttery custard. Simple and so good, the apple is a great topping for fall. The apples bake perfectly and are filled with cinnamon spice. The cheese topping is similar to the butter one where it sinks to the bottom while baking. If you asked us which is our favorite, we wouldn't be able to single one out. They're all good in their own way. Each recipe makes one Kuchen, so keep one or two for yourselves and give another to a neighbor or family. Whichever Kuchen you choose to make, you'll enjoy a bakery-quality treat.

Grandma Geldner's Apfel Kuchen (Apple Kuchen) Recip… image

This comes from a rich German heritage. Grandma always made the best "apfel" kuchen. Her recipes were always simple, but tasted great!

Total Time 55 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 -5 cups baking apples, Granny Smith (or other)
1 1/4 cups white flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons white flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix 1 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, 2 tsp sugar, and salt and sift once.
  • Cut 1/2 cup butter into dry mix with a pastry blender to pea size.

  • Mix thoroughly and pat dough into a greased or oiled 9x13-inch baking dish.

  • Spread dry topping over dotted apples, and bake in oven for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown.

SAUERKRAUT AND APPLES RECIPE - NYT COOKING
In the Chesapeake, seafood often finds its way onto the Thanksgiving menu. But in Baltimore, which has a strong eastern European and German immigrant history, the holiday table demands something else. “The absence of sauerkraut when turkey is present, Thanksgiving included, is unthinkable, comparable to potatoes without gravy or crisp French fries without ketchup,” wrote John Shields, the chef and owner of Gertrude’s restaurant in Baltimore, in his cookbook “Chesapeake Bay Cooking.” (Sauerkraut is a mainstay well beyond Thanksgiving; Gertrude’s hosts an annual Krautfest in January.) Traditionally, homemakers fermented the cabbage in earthenware crocks in their cellars, but these days the fresh stuff is available to buy. On Thanksgiving, it’s often simply served as a side, or incorporated into dishes like this, in which the sauerkraut is braised in beer with bacon and apples.
