Origin German Apple Cake

German Apple Cake (Apfelkuchen) has countless regional versions across Germany. Some are yeast-based, others are simple butter cakes, but all celebrate the abundance of apples in fall and winter.

What I Love About This Recipe

It’s easy to make in one bowl and requires no fancy equipment. The cinnamon-sugar topping caramelizes into a sweet crust, while the apples stay juicy and tender.

Origin Million Layer Potato Cake

Inspired by French-style potato dishes like Pommes Anna, this modern take transforms humble potatoes into an elegant layered masterpiece. It’s often seen in fine dining but totally doable at home with a mandoline and some patience.

What I Love About This Recipe

It’s buttery, crispy, and oh-so-satisfying. I love how the layers melt in your mouth while the top and bottom turn gorgeously golden. Perfect as a side or even a centerpiece for potato lovers!
