OMA'S APFELKUCHEN (GRANDMA'S APPLE CAKE)

My husband's German family calls this Oma's apfelkuchen, which translates to "Grandma's apple cake." They've been sharing the recipe for more than 150 years. I use Granny Smith apples, but any variety works. -Amy Kirchen, Loveland, Ohio

GRANDMA'S FRESH APPLE CAKE

Moist cinnamon cake enfolding sliced fresh apples makes a delicious dessert or wholesome snack cake. This recipe came from my mother, Ann. I have cut the sugar down to 1 cup, as most modern apples are sweet enough to not need the original 2 cups called for. I like to replace 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1 cup whole wheat flour.
