Title: Olga's Apple Kuchen
Categories: Cakes, Fruits, Desserts
Yield: 11 Servings

1 lg Egg
1/2 ts Pure vanilla extract
Milk *
1 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
3 tb Sugar
4 tb Cold butter; in small cubes
1 c Sugar
2 ts Cinnamon
3 tb Melted butter
Peeled and sliced apples**

Liberally butter a 9" x 13" baking pan, an extra large
deep dish pie dish, or two round 8" cake pans.

Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.

* Beat together in a measuring cup, the egg, 1/2 tsp.
vanilla and just enough milk to make 1/2 cup.

In the bowl of a food processor, add flour, baking
powder, salt and sugar. Pulse a few times to
incorporate. Then add 4 Tbsp. cold, cubed butter.

Pulse the food processor to cut in the butter into the
dry ingredients like you would do for pastry. When you
can drag a fork through without picking up any large
lumps - then you are good to go.

Pour wet ingredients into the dry, use the continuous
speed to mix everything together which should only take
15 seconds or less.

Turn out the dough into the middle of the buttered
baking pan. Flour your hands and gently press the dough
evenly to the edges.

** Peel and slice apples - the exact number of apples
will depend on variety and size. But enough to evenly
cover the dough.

Evenly layer apples, matching the curve to cover the
entire pan.

Melt 3 Tbsp. butter and add 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp.
cinnamon. Stir with fork to thoroughly mix. Sprinkle
over the apples and bake 25 - 25 minutes.

NOTE: For very juicy fruits like plums and peaches, I
usually need to cook 5-10 minutes longer.

Fruits I have used for this cake: apple (Jonathon, Gala,
Granny Smith), plums, peaches, pears, blueberries,
mango, this is a versatile recipe. Except for berries
and plums, I peel, slice and arrange the fruits slightly
overlapping each other and allowing no gaps from row to
row.
