Caramel-Glazed Apple Cake

Caramel-Glazed Apple Cake
10 Servings

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 lightly beaten egg
1 cup milk

TOPPING
3 cups apples, (Baking) peeled and sliced
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup melted butter

1. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, then cut in the
butter. Beat in the egg and milk.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9x13" pan with a single piece of foil, allowing the edges of the foil to hang over the edges of the pan. Lightly butter the foil.
3. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Arrange the apple slices of the
batter in rows, overlapping them slightly and alternating the direction of
the rows. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch and sprinkle this
mixture over the apples. Drizzle the melted butter over all.
4. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the apples are nicely browned and glazed
and a cake tester comes out clean. Remove cake to a wire rack and cool it
in the pan.
5. To serve, hold the foil edges and gently lift the cake from the pan.
Transfer the cake to a serving tray and gently peel away the foil. Cut the
cake into 4" strips between the apple rows. Can substitute firm ripe
peaches, nectarine, or pears for the apples.
