German Apple Cake



    Cake

    1 ½ cups flour

    ¾ cup sugar

    ½ cup butter

    2 eggs

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    ¾ cup milk

    ½ teaspoon vanilla

    Apples (about 3-4, peeled and sliced)

    1 cup butter

    1 cup flour

    1 cup sugar (white)

    1 ½ tablespoons sugar

    1 ½ tablespoons cinnamon

    How to make it:

    Preheat oven to 350.

    Make the cake batter by mixing the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla.  Add in the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, and baking powder), blend, and pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish (I use glass for this cake).

    Place the sliced apples (Topping #1) on top of the batter.  Slice more apples if needed to cover the cake.

    In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for Topping #2 (butter, flour and sugar) and spread on top of the apples.  This topping will be very crumbly.

    In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for Topping # 3 (sugar and cinnamon).  Sprinkle on top of the crumbly mixture.

    Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.  Cool before serving, though this cake is delicious when served warm (and with a heavy cream!)
