Comment préparer German Apple Cake
- Make the cookie crust: In a large bowl, cream together the chilled butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the apple filling: Arrange the sliced apples evenly over the pre-baked crust.
- Prepare the sour cream custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the sour cream custard evenly over the apples in the crust.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the apricot glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves and water. Simmer over low heat until melted and smooth. Brush the glaze over the cooled cake.
- Once the glaze has set, decorate the cake with white decorator icing using a piping bag or ziplock bag with a corner snipped off. Get creative with flowers, designs, a lattice, or a simple border.
