Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 3 cups fresh blueberries
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly. Next, cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The key is to work quickly to keep the butter cold, which ensures a flakier crust. Once the butter is well incorporated, sprinkle the mixture with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Gently shape the dough into a ball.

2. Press into Pan: Lightly flour your fingers and press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness on the bottom, and ensure the sides are slightly thicker, about 1 inch high. This will form the base and sides of your Kuchen, creating a nice barrier to hold in the filling.

3. Prepare the Filling: Wash and dry 3 cups of fresh blueberries. Scatter the blueberries evenly over the prepared dough in the pan.

4. Make the Topping: In a small bowl, mix 2/3 cup of granulated sugar with 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the blueberries. The sugar and flour blend will help to thicken the juices released from the berries as they bake, while the cinnamon adds a lovely warmth and spice to the Kuchen.

5. Bake the Kuchen: Place the springform pan on the lowest rack of your preheated oven, set to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The bubbling indicates that the blueberries have cooked through and the sugar has caramelized nicely.

6. Cool and Finish: Once baked, remove the Kuchen from the oven. Sprinkle the top with any remaining fresh blueberries, allowing them to warm slightly from the residual heat. Let the Kuchen cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully remove the rim of the springform pan.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Kuchen into wedges and serve it warm or at room temperature. This Blueberry Kuchen pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Enjoy this delightful Blueberry Kuchen with family and friends. Its sweet and tangy blueberry filling combined with a buttery, flaky crust makes it a dessert that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering. 🌟🍇🎂
