German Apple Cake Tart

---

This is a fairly simple and very elegant apple tart in a deliciously thick crust with spirals of apple wedges graced with a delicious cinnamon-sugar topping. I wanted a safe place to keep it and my mom's paper copy is pretty tattered from so many uses! the cake/crust part is good for a variety of other recipes too (a quick pat-in-the-pan quiche crust, for example).

Steps

Cake / crust: mix dry ingredients and cut in butter as for a pie crust.

Pat into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 11 1 / 2 x 7 1 / 2 baking dish.

Filling: arrange apple slices in a spiral around pan.

Topping: mix topping ingredients and spread over apples.

Toward the end of the baking time you can also run it under a broiler to nicely brown the edges of the apples for the extra wow" factor".
