Apple Kuchen: A Tall Apple-Custard Tourte

Showy and delicious, those are apt words to describe fall in Rochester, New York and also perfect words to describe Dorie Greenspan's Apple Kuchen.  This is the first apple dessert I have made this fall and it is a winner!

I have been baking along with the Tuesday with Dorie bakers as we work through Dorie's book, Baking Chez Moi.  When I saw the beautiful picture accompanying this recipe, I was very anxious to make it but held off till now--a perfect time with many varieties of apples hitting the farm stands.  And if I do say so myself, my kuchen looks as lovely as the one in the book!  Thanks, Dorie, for such great recipes and easy-to-follow directions!

To see how the other bakers did this week, check out Tuesdays with Dorie.

Whirring till there are small pieces of butter


Adding the egg yolks and whirring until the machine makes a different sound.

The apples and rum-soaked raisins in the crust.

Into the oven--add the custard in 15 minutes.
