Delight in the comforting flavors of German Apple Cake, a cherished dessert that beautifully combines the sweetness of apples with the richness of a tender cake. Begin by selecting fresh, crisp apples, preferably varieties like Granny Smith or Braeburn, for a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness.
Peel and thinly slice the apples, allowing their natural juices to infuse the cake with moisture and flavor. Create a simple batter using flour, eggs, sugar, and a touch of vanilla, providing a delicate canvas for the star ingredient—apples.
Gently fold the apple slices into the batter, ensuring an even distribution of fruit throughout. As the German Apple Cake bakes, your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of cinnamon and baked apples, creating a sense of anticipation for the delightful treat to come.
Once out of the oven, let the cake cool before slicing into it, revealing layers of soft cake and tender apple slices. Dust the top with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and an elegant finish.
Serve slices of German Apple Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, enhancing the dessert with a creamy contrast. This timeless recipe is perfect for cozy gatherings, afternoon teas, or as a sweet ending to any meal.
Celebrate the comforting flavors of fall and the simplicity of homemade baking with German Apple Cake—a delightful treat that captures the essence of traditional German desserts and brings a touch of warmth to your table.

love this cake, I use applesauce rather then oil. adds more apple flavor and a healthier option
If you make it exactly as stated, it’s the perfect balance of everything. No need to adjust a thing. It’s my absolute favorite!!! It’s not fall without it!
It was a huge hit at our Thursday dinner at my son and daughter in-law. That want me to make another.
This was wonder cake!! I used 12 c coconut oil, and 12 c applesauce, and 2 tsp vanilla, baked at 325° in a glass 9x13 pan. My family loved it!!
I just loved this cake! It was so moist and delicious.
This was so moist and soft!
Batter was extremely thick and even after baking 45 minutes it still was not done. May want to check on the proper measurements for this cake.
Cake turned out great…like a comforting fall coffee-style cake. I cut sugar in half; tastes great and no consistency problems. Had leftover apples so I made a ‘apple Carmel’ sauce to accompany this…nice touch.
That first comment about the caramel sauce - DO IT. This is now a family favorite, requested often!
