How to Make Apple Raspberry Kuchen
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack in the center.
- **Make the dough:** In a large bowl, sift together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes.
- Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons ice water; mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- **Prepare the filling:** Peel and thinly slice 4 medium apples (about 4 cups).
- In a bowl, toss the apples with ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- **Assemble the Kuchen:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the chilled dough into a 10-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the dough.
- Dollop ⅓ cup raspberry jam over the apples.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into 10 equal strips. Arrange the strips over the apples in a lattice pattern.
- Sprinkle the top with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon sugar!
