Apple Kuchen
Fluffy Batter Bread Topped with Apple Slices and Cinnamon Mixture
A Sweet Cake-like Treat Made Perfect When
Served Warm with Ice Cream
Makes 1 (13 x 9-inch) Coffeecake
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 envelope FLEISCHMANN'S RapidRise Yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 egg, large
3 cups sliced fresh cooking apples
Cinnamon Topping (recipe follows)
Directions
In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm (120o to 130oF). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in remaining flour to make a stiff batter. Turn into greased 13 x 9-inch pan. Arrange apple slices evenly over batter; sprinkle with Cinnamon Topping. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Bake at 375oF for 25 minutes or until done. Cool in pan on wire rack, or serve warm with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
Cinnamon Topping: In a small bowl, combine 2/3 cup sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
