Apple Kuchen KUCHEN 2 to 3 cups flour 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 package active dry yeast 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup margarine or butter 2 eggs 4 to 5 medium apples, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch slices TOPPING 3/4 cup sugar 3 tablespoons flour 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons margarine or butter In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup sugar, salt and yeast; blend well. In small saucepan, heat milk and 1/4 cup margarine until very warm (120 to 130 degrees). Add warm liquid and eggs to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in remaining 1 to 2 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl. Generously grease 13x9-inch pan. On floured surface, toss dough lightly until no longer sticky; press in greased pan. Arrange apple slices in rows on top of dough. In small bowl, combine all topping ingredients; blend well. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples.Cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85 degrees) until light, about 45 to 60 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Uncover dough. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender. Serve warm. I also have a recipe that uses a bread machine for the dough. If you would like it, give a response. |
