Quick apple-fruit cake or crispy pizza—both are very delicious

Whenever we get a sudden craving for cake, I always turn to this recipe. It’s ready in no time and doesn’t take too long to make. The dough doesn’t need any sweetener. And depending on the fruit you choose, you can even skip the sugar in the topping. Just try out different variations.

Great pizza crust:
This dough is perfect for pizza! It turns out crispy and nice and thin. I love this version, and it’s just as quick to make as the cake.

Yeast dough:

• 250 g whole-grain spelt flour (regular spelt flour works too)
• 30 ml oil (e.g., olive oil)
• 1/2 cube of fresh yeast or 1 packet of dry yeast
• 1 pinch of salt (for pizza, use 1/2 tsp)
• 125 g water

Mix all the ingredients for the yeast dough, knead, and let rise while preparing the topping.

Topping for the cake:

• Chop 3–4 apples into small pieces; you can also mix in other fruits, nuts, etc., as well as raisins to taste
  
• Mix this mixture with lemon juice
• stir in a little honey or sugar as needed
  
• Cinnamon—if desired
• Sprinkle shredded coconut, slivered almonds, or ground nuts on top, if desired

Pizza topping:

• Tomato paste (first)
• Vegetables of your choice—e.g., onions, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes
• Cheese for sprinkling
  

Now roll out the dough thinly on a baking sheet and spread the toppings on top.

Place it in a cold oven and bake for 25–30 minutes at 180 degrees on the convection setting.

Enjoy, and feel free to post a photo here.

I baked this version this afternoon. The topping consists of apples, frozen sour cherries, a little cinnamon, lemon juice, a little vanilla sugar, cashews, and raisins. I sprinkled shredded coconut and a few oats on top. It was very juicy and super delicious. If you like, you can add some cream on top.

Oh Monika, that’s making my mouth water. Do you even realize what you’re doing here? It looks absolutely delicious—it’s impossible to resist. I’ll definitely have to try this sometime, but for now, fruit tart with whipped cream is on the menu for Easter.

Thanks in advance for the recipe!

Monika, it’s me again. I just read “125 g water”? Or do you mean ml?

Andrea, grams or ml are the same when it comes to water. :-)

Oh Monika, that really whets my appetite, but as tempting as it is, we’re taking a break from cake this weekend—otherwise we’ll be rolling through town… Easter weekend is coming, and there’ll be plenty to eat then. I’ll save the recipe in my folder, though, because it sounds so delicious. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

This cake can be varied in so many ways with different fruits. I love it especially because it has only a thin crust with lots of fruit. Tonight, it’s pizza’s turn.
