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 makeit:

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!)
