I have noticed that many people say 'I am bad at baking'. I don't understand this! Baking is so easy. If you are one of these 'I am bad at baking' people, try this recipe. It is VERY simple and the ingredients will cost you less than 5 Euros.
Apfel-Tarte
You need:
300g flour
1 table spoon sugar
1 pinch of salt
200g butter
1 egg
3 apples
The recipe said you need to make the base on the kitchen bench, but I made it in a bowl so I 1. didn't need to clean the kitchen bench before and 2. didn't need to clean the kitchen bench after
Place flour in a bowl and make a well in the middle. Place sugar and salt in the well...and then add the egg. Cut the butter into little cubes and place into the bowl. Now kind of stab all the ingredients with a spoon. You wont be able to MIX it as it is too dry. After a while, you should be able to use your hands to make a dough. Wrap the lump of dough in plastic wrap and place it into the fridge.
While the dough is cooling....
1. Line a spring form baking tin with baking paper. I used a spring form tin, but if you have a special tarte tin (an Obstkuchenform), then use that.
2. Thinly slice the apples. I used Barebraun (I think that is how it is spelt) and Granny Smith apples.
Once that is done, your dough should be cool. Take it out of the fridge and line the tin with the dough. Make sure to make some edges. Also, poke the dough with a fork. I did not do this and a large air bubble formed in the middle of my cake while it was in the oven.
Arrange your apples on top of the dough and sprinkle a bit of sugar over the top. Cook for 15-20 minutes at 250 degrees C.

Speaking of German books...I read a German novel last week and this week I started another one and have about 15 pages to go
