My Favorite of the Week – Berliner Apple Cake, Simply Heavenly! 

Preparation

1. Make the shortcrust pastry:
   Roll out about 1/3 of the dough and cut it using the ring of a springform pan.

2. Line the pan:
   Use the larger portion of dough to line a greased springform pan, pressing it up the sides to form a crust.
   If needed, thicken the applesauce with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, then spread it over the dough.

3. Top the cake:
   Cover with the rolled-out dough circle. Alternatively, cut the dough into strips and lay them over the top in a lattice pattern.

4. Bake:
   Bake at medium heat (approx. 175 °C / 350 °F) for about 50 minutes.

5. Finish:
   Let the cake cool, then cover with a powdered sugar glaze.

Enjoy your delicious cake – Guten Appetit! 🍰
