30 secs6 : add egg - 10 secs, speed 3
7 : spread about two thirds of pastry onto base and sides of flan tin - best done by taking small amounts and pressing with fingers or back of spoon. Pastry will be quite moist almost biscuit like in appearance.
8 : drain apples well, and place into flan tin
9 : sprinkle with cinnamon
10 : take small portions of remaining pastry mixture, flatten between fingers, and place on top of apples in random formation.
11 : sprinkle lightly with sugar
12 : bake 175 degrees C, for 45 mins
Preparation
30 secsTip
** cake tin variations, any spring form pan, round cake tin 18cm, square pan 18cm
** if using solid base pan, a couple of strips of baking paper criss-crossed over the bottom will make it easier to remove
** when cooked, the apples are quite firm (as this is a traditional German apple cake), however you can lightly steam the apple if you require a softer centre.
** as can be seen in the photo! the cake stands quite high (because the apples are not cooked before hand), and the topping all cooks together forming the crust.
** variations - you can add 30g sultanas & 30g almond flakes to apple filling.

I have a TM5 and not sure what this symbol in the recipe means?
"Gentle stir setting"
Lovely!! I reduced the sugar to 50g as my apples were very sweet. It's easy and delicious so I will definitely be making this again.
Gorgeous cake! I used a round tin and it worked perfectly. I cooked mine at 155 degrees fan forced. I also cut and added the sliced apples once the pastry was in the dish. Thanks so much for sharing.
WOW! AMAZING!!!
Made this for the first time today.Found it easy to make, though was fiddly to put together but SOOO worth it
I used pears instead of apples as I have LOADS of pears to get rid of.Was sooo nice the kids have nearly eaten all of it 
So , so easy and absolutely delicious. I'm so glad I finally tried this as it's been on my list for ages. I didn't soak the apples and just sliced them after I had put the pastry on the base. Cutting down the sugar to 75 g was good as I was using golden delicious apples ( from our tree) and they are sweeter and hold their shape. I didn't have much pastry left so really just crumbled it on top and this made it even easier. . I will be making this very often as for very little effort the result is amazing. Thank you Roselie.
Yum yum yum!!
Thank you - this is a great recipe with cheap, pantry staples that I will make again and again.
The pastry is nice and light considering the small amount of butter. I used a 20cm springform tin and it was just enough to cover the base and provide a nice topping.
Great cake. Moist and beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe Rosaile - delicious, easy, economical, lovely pastry....a winner!
