Tips:
- For the perfect crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. Cake flour will give the crust a tender texture, while all-purpose flour will provide structure.
- Make sure the butter is cold before grating it into the flour mixture. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples thinly. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish with apples. If the apples are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
- Bake the Kuchen until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Serve the Kuchen warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
