Apples

For our son's birthday, I made an apple cake. This recipe for a "sunken" apple cake ("Versunkener Apfelkuchen" in German) is from my Mom. This cake is simple to prepare, tastes great and is best with sweet apples like Golden Delicious. Fortunately, we have an apple tree in the backyard.

A recipe from my Mom: Apfelpfannkuchen (German for "apple pancakes"). Slices of apple, dipped into pancake batter, pan-fried and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Enough for a main dish but also nice as a dessert.
