Delicious #APFELKUCHEN Recipe Cooked on a @Kamado Joe Grill with a @Petromax Iron Pan from @jacksmeatshack
Apfelkuchen, also known as German apple cake, is a delicious dessert that is perfect for the autumn season. This classic treat features a rich, buttery dough that is layered with fresh apple slices and finished with a dusting of sugar and cinnamon. It’s the perfect dish to enjoy at a fall barbecue, especially when cooked on a Kamado Joe grill using a Petromax iron pan.
To make this tasty dessert, you will need 5 apples, lemon juice, plain flour, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, cinnamon, and icing sugar for serving. Preheat your grill to 175°C and set it up for two-zone cooking. Grease a cast iron pan and peel and slice the apples into thin slices. Toss the slices in lemon juice and set them aside.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl or food processor, cream the butter, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until pale and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time before stirring in the flour mixture until combined. Stir the apple slices into the batter, reserving some to press into the top of the cake.
Pour the batter into the cast iron pan and press the reserved apple slices on top. Bake the cake on indirect heat for 40-55 minutes, or until fully cooked in the middle. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing it to cool completely. Once cooled, dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or a cup of coffee.
