This recipe is so much fun to make. Don’t let the word Torte scare you because it is a very simple recipe! This recipe is from many, many years ago and it turned out exactly like it was supposed to. It uses basic ingredients and tastes so delicious!

I greased mine with my homemade

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven

for 45 – 60 minutes depending on which

size springform pan you use. I used a 9” pan

and it was done at 53 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes.

Run a rubber spatula around the inside of the pan.

Release and remove the side of the pan but leave the bottom in place.

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

  7. Haha, it’s funny it would be called Torte! I mostly make plum cake that looks more like a plum pizza than a torte while using apples for a recipe similar to yours (calling it Apfelkuchen rather than Apfeltorte, though), but this looks awfully tasty indeed and we shall try it for sure. 🙂
