BREMEN APPLE TORTE

Ingredients

• 7 pieces Apples, peeled and cored
• 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 6 pieces Eggs
• 1 pint Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3 cups Zwieback, finely rolled
• 2 tablespoons Butter (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))

Instructions

1. 1In a saucepan, combine the peeled and cored apples, 6 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook over medium heat until the apples soften, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2. 2In a separate bowl, cream the eggs. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Sweeten to taste with additional sugar, if desired. Stir well to combine.
3. 3Pour the custard mixture into the cooked apples. Let the mixture boil together until it thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from the stove.
4. 4Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a well-greased baking pan, put a layer of 2 cups of the finely rolled zwieback crumbs. Top with a layer of the apple mixture, then another layer of the remaining crumbs. Dot the top with lumps of butter.
5. 5Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
