Specialty Recipe

Viennese Apple Coffee Cake

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

2/3 cup butter

1 slightly beaten egg

1/4 milk

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Filling:

4 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples

2/3 cup apricot preserves

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

zest from 1 lemon

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is coarse crumbs. Combine egg, milk, and vanilla and add to flour mixture all at once. Mix well. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 1 to 12 strokes or until smooth. Chill 1/3 of dough. Pat the remaining dough onto the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch tart or springform pan. Arrange apples over pastry. Stir together preserves, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Spread over the apples. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange strips over apples to make a lattice pattern. Trim strips to edge of pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until apples are soft. Cover loosely with foil the last 1 to 15 minutes of baking time so it won't over brown.

Serves: 12 to 16
