Dutch Apple Cake

Here is another old recipe from my little red box... the name is Dutch Apple Cake on the card, but you could also call it an apple upside-down cake.

1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbsp. milk

2 baking apples, peeled and sliced thin

2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar

1/3 c. butter
3/4 c. milk
1 egg


Melt 1/2 cup butter, then add brown sugar, cinnamon and milk.  Pour in 9" pan.  Arrange apples on top.  In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.  Cut 1/3 cup butter in to flour mixture.  In another bowl mix milk and egg then add to flour mixture.  Stir only until flour is mixed in.  Spread batter over apples.  Bake in 350` oven 45 to 50 min.  Serve upside down.  Garnish with whipped cream.

A little food for thought:

"Anyone can count the number of seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed."
