Ingredients

Instructions

Quickly knead the flour, margarine, sugar and egg into a shortcrust pastry. (You can certainly only do this by hand or like me: first mix everything with the mixer. You then get small crumbs, which you then knead together by hand.) Put the dough in a cool place for at least half an hour.
Peel and quarter the apples.
Divide the dough into two - not exactly the same size - portions. Spread the slightly larger portion out on the greased cake pan base and form a 1-2 cm high edge. Spread the apple pieces on top. If you like, you can sprinkle cinnamon, sugar, nuts or raisins over the apples, but you can leave that out. Now roll out the second, smaller half of the dough into a circle and cover the apples with it.
Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes at 180 °.
If you want, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar or put a glaze on it, but it also tastes good without it.
The cake tastes particularly good fresh from the oven, as a warm dessert!

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
