Apple Cake

Apple Cake

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar, divided

1 egg, well beaten

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup butter, melted

3 tart apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 8x8x2 or 10x6x2 pan with parchment paper, or grease pan with butter.

2) In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and 1/2 cup sugar.

3) In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, and butter. Stir mixture gently into dry ingredients.

4) Pour batter 3/4 inch thick into baking pan. On top of batter, layer apple wedges in parallel rows.

5) Mix 1/2 cup sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until apples are tender.

Note:

I had to make a few adjustments to the original recipe. The cake needed 50 minutes instead of 25 in the original recipe. I also only need 3 apples not 5, and they weren't that big either. Next time, I would cut the apples thinner, perhaps sixteenths. It would then be easier to layer and may reduce the bake time.
