    Cover filling with either with cookie cut-outs or a round of dough. For the latter, pierce top with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking. Place in preheated oven and bake at 180°C/350°F for approx. 30 min. Cover with aluminum foil and press down lightly so that the apple juice rises to the top and soaks the entire cake.
