this is a great brunch cake, not real sweet and perfect for just a little bit.

Apple cake

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup shortening (I use butter)

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

1/2 cup milk (or a few drops more)

4 medium apples, peeled and sliced

2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, mixed together (I use probably 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon)

I also sometimes put walnuts on top of the apples, and under the cinnamon sugar.

cream butter and sugar, add eggs

add sifted (I just wisk them in a bowl) dry ingredients alternately with the milk.

arrange apple slices on top and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.

bake at 350 for about 25 minutes in a 9 x 13 pan.

apple cake is best served warm with sweetened whipped cream with almond and vanilla added to it.

I also put about a teaspoon or so of vanilla in my apple cake.
