APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1½ cups sifted flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 to 4 firm-fleshed apples
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon mixed with ¼ cup sugar
  • Whipped cream
Cream the butter, while adding the sugar, well-beaten egg, and vanilla. Sift the dry ingredients together and add alternately with the milk to the first mixture. Spread a thick coating of butter on the bottom and sides of a glass baking dish or a very heavy pan. Pare, quarter, and slice the apples thin. Spread in an over-lapping layer on the bottom of the baking dish and sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar. Pour the cake mixture over the apples. The batter is rather thick and may need to be smoothed on top with a knife. Bake at 300° to 325° F. for 45 minutes. Loosen the sides of the cake, turn it out carefully, upside down, and the top will be covered with a neat layer of transparent apples. Serve hot with whipped cream.
