Last night, I was missing my mom, wishing for her to live nearby and not 10.000 miles away. I was craving her baking: oatmeal cookies and strudels. I have one of her recipe books, and I found this lovely Apple Chocolate Kuchen that my mom used to make for me. It was just what I needed to bring all the good memories. I love the smell of the apples cooking in the oven. My husband and children couldn’t wait to try it.
The chocolate and apple combination is delicious; the walnuts give contrast in the texture, and the oatmeal too. My favorite part is the crumbs on top—a fast and excellent recipe.
