Fruit desserts like this kuchen recipe are always a treat. A thin yeasted flour-based crust, custard, fruit and streusel bake up into a warm, comforting dessert that you can have after a meal or as a snack when you want something that’s a little sweet (but not too sweet). This recipe makes four kuchens, so you can use different types of fruit for each one.<\/p>\n

Kuchen<\/em> is the German word for “cake,” but in the culinary world, kuchen<\/em> can refer to any number of baked desserts with fruit. Some are more like standard cakes with fruit baked into the very top, while others are more similar to fruit pies<\/a> with a top and bottom crust. Yet others, including this German kuchen recipe, contain fruit and custard baked over a thin crust. The final dish looks a bit like a pie at first, but when you taste it, you’ll realize it’s so much more than just a pie. This is a great recipe for those who want a lot of fruit in each bite of their dessert.<\/p>\n
