How to make yeast cake with roasted apples step by step

Step 1 - prepare the yeast starter

• Crumble the yeast into a bowl, add sugar and mix together.
  20 g yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar
  
• Pour in lukewarm milk (not too hot!) and mix until the yeast dissolves.
  120 ml milk
• Cover the bowl with cling film or a cloth and set aside in a draft-free place for about 20 minutes.

Step 2 - prepare the yeast dough

• In a large bowl, place wheat flour, sugar, eggs, butter cut into pieces, and pour in the yeast starter.
  300 g wheat flour - all-purpose, 50 g sugar, 2 eggs, 30 g butter
  
• Knead the dough with a mixer or by hand - it will be quite sticky.
  
• Cover the bowl with the dough with foil or a cloth and set aside in a warm place for about an hour - until it rises and doubles in volume.
• Briefly knead the risen dough again.
• Transfer it to the pan and spread it over the entire bottom with slightly damp hands.
  
• Spread the apples over the dough evenly.

Step 3 - prepare the crumble topping

• From flour, butter cut into pieces, and sugar, prepare a loose crumble - you can briefly mix it with a food processor, knead with a fork, or crumble with your fingers..
  150 g wheat flour, 100 g butter, 70 g sugar
  
• Sprinkle the crumble over the top of the cake.
  
• Cover the pan with the dough with a cloth and set aside for about half an hour to rise.

Step 4 - bake the cake

• While the dough is rising in the pan, preheat the oven to 170 degrees (convection mode) or 180 degrees (top/bottom heat).
• Place the pan with the dough into the hot oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes - until a dry skewer comes out clean.
• Cool the cake after baking.
