This recipe comes from BB member Ed Malesky, whose grandmother Angela (Poeltl) Malesky was born in Rosenberg bei Güssing. She was from the same family as BB founder Gerry Berghold, and lived in Allentown, PA. Ed compiled her recipes into his own cookbook, which he now shares with us.



ANGELA'S APPLE FLECKEN
(from Ed Malesky)

Fruit:
  • about 9-10 cups baking apples, sliced
  • butter or margarine
  • sugar
  • cinnamon
Dough:
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 lb. stick butter or margarine (8 oz)
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp. sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
Instructions:

For the filling, slice the apples. Blend with melted butter, add sugar to taste and dust very lightly with cinnamon.

For the dough, mix the flour and butter. Add the eggs and sour cream, then knead the dough. Add a little milk if it is still too dry.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Divide the dough, and roll out half of it for lining a 9-1/2 x 13 pan. Spread the apple mixture on top. Top with crumbs if desired. Roll out the other half of the dough and cover the apple filling, then bake until golden brown.
