A simple and tasty yeast flat cake with apples with a hint of warm spices.
You can prepare the yeast cake in the evening and store it in the refrigerator.
In the morning, just take it out, wait for it to warm up, and bake it for breakfast.
As usual, I used fresh yeast for the cake, but you can also use dried yeast – half a packet is enough.
You can use any apples; 3 medium ones should be enough for the whole flat cake.
The Apfelkuchen flat cake tastes delicious while still warm, but it’s equally tasty after cooling down.
If you like sweeter cakes, you can additionally drizzle a little icing on top of the cake.
