Number Of Ingredients 14

FROSTING:
3 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups chopped peeled tart apples
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Fold in apples and nuts. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter. Add confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth. Spread over cake. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • To make the streusel topping, you can use a food processor or a pastry blender. If you're using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the mixture, as this can make the topping too crumbly.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite fruit.

German Apple Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
