German Apple Cake

This recipe has been a Thanksgiving tradition with my family for more years than I care to admit. I knew it was one that had to be adapted. With a food processor, it is literally made in minutes, but there is no need to share that. I peel the apples first, quarter them and use the slicing blade of the food processor for even slices. Feel free to change the fruit topping depending upon the season. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
