Apple-Kuchen

Directions

Heat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Grease an 11×7-inch baking pan. Mix flour and baking powder.

In a large bowl, beat butter and confectioners’ sugar with electric mixer until pale and fluffy.

Beat in egg and lemon peel.

With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture.

Remove ⅔ cup dough.

With floured fingers, pat remaining dough over bottom of prepared pan.

Spread apple slices mixed with golden raisins and ground cinnamon.

Spread over dough, using a rubber spatula to break up apples if needed to cover dough.

Roll remaining dough into long ropes and lay diagonally across filling to create a lattice effect.

Bake 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.

Cool in pan.

Dust with confectioners’ sugar before cutting.
