This easy crumb cake has fruit tucked under the crumb topping. This Einfacher Streuselkuchen was sent in by another Gerhild!
It was the first recipe sent in by another Gerhild (which is my name as well), Gerhild Naggert. It's one of those really easy German recipes that gets passed on through the generations.
It's similar, but totally different than my Streuselkuchen, especially in the method. So wonderful having a variety of different German foods to present for your Kaffeeklatsch!
Gerhild N. mentions that she prefers to use the blueberries or tart cherries because the resulting cake is moister. Apples work but the cake is not as moist.
Perhaps, not as moist, but delicious, nevertheless! I made the cake above using two apples. Delicious, almost cookie-like. Great with our afternoon coffee.
Don't forget to check out the other recipes sent in by the other Gerhilds in the world. There aren't many of us, but we are SPECIAL!

When I made this (photo above) I used 2 apples, peeled and cut into thin slices. I also used a 9" x 12" pan which made the base thinner than the recipe states.
The result was almost cookie-like. Hubby likened it to oatmeal cookies. Not a cake like base at all. But, it was delicious and fit perfectly with our afternoon coffee. I will certainly make this again!
