How to Make Apfelklosse German Apple Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Beat 2 large egg yolks and stir them into the crumb mixture until just combined.
- Press half of the dough into the bottom of a greased 10x15 inch jelly roll pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the pressed dough in the pan.
- Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the apple filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk 2 large egg whites until frothy. Brush the top of the crumble with the egg whites.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into bars. Serve warm with vanilla custard sauce or ice cream.
