Recipes Desserts Cakes Apple Cake Recipes Versunkener Apfelkuchen (German Sunken Apple Cake) 5.0 (5) 5 Reviews 7 Photos For this apple cake you need to cut the apples like a fan not only for looks — this little trick makes the cake especially moist. I like to use tart apples. You will need between 5 and 7 apples, depending on their size.
