This German Apple Cake with Streusel Topping [Apfelkuchen mit Streusel] is one of my favorite traditional German desserts that I know you are going to love too! The tender, juicy apple filling is topped with a sweet, crunchy streusel on a buttery shortbread crust.
Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Jonagold, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices for apples to use in this German apple cake.
If using sweetened applesauce, omit the sugar in the apple filling layer.
