This festive German Christmas Apple Cake is perfect for the holiday menu. It is a multi-layered cake, a “Torte” as we say in German. To make this cake you would need a cake ring as it is higher than a regular cake. The original recipe is using German gelatin and vanilla sauce which we also recommend to use. Happy Baking!
