How to Make Apfelkuchen
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place one 9-inch pie crust in a round 9-inch cake pan.
- Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Toss apples with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
- In a medium bowl, cream together 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 ounces cream cheese until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the apples in the pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) cold unsalted butter. Cut the butter into the mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the custard and apples.
- Bake for 45 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the Apfelkuchen cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
