German Covered Apple Cake

[Guest guest]

This recipe is REALLY yummy! Though it doesn't quite beat apple pie, it's

got a really nice texture, and the crust is SO good! The only person who

didn't like this was my mother, who just coincidentally happens to be

German. Hee hee! Ironic, isn't it?

 

Happy baking!
