Apple Butter Cake

For the apple butter cake use as tart as possible sour apples like Cox Orange, Boskop or Braeburn. Place 600 g flour in a mixing bowl and mix with 75 g sugar and a pinch of salt. Dissolve fresh yeast in 250 ml lukewarm milk. Gradually knead the milk under the dough until a smooth yeast dough is formed that separates easily from the edge of the bowl. Knead eggs and soft butter under the yeast dough. Cover the yeast dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes. Peel and quarter the apples, remove the core and cut lengthwise into three slices each. Sprinkle apple slices with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle the yeast dough with 2 tbsp. sugar. Spread the apple slices on the dough. Preheat oven to 200°. Bake apple butter cake on the middle shelf for about 35 minutes. Meanwhile boil 200 g butter in a pot with 250 g sugar, 100 g cream, 60 g flour and 200 g almond leaves while stirring. After 15 minutes baking time spread the almond mixture over the apple butter cake and bake ready.
