Marilyn's Apple-Bottom Cake

This is one of my mom's favorite cake recipes. Marilyn usually uses Mcintosh apples, but has also used Golden Delicious and Granny Smith in this recipe.

Apple bottom:

• 5 apples
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp flour

Cake batter:

• 2 eggs
• 4 tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Grease a 9 X 13" pan.

Wash and peel the apples and slice into the pan.

Sprinkle with a mixture of 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tbsp. flour.

Dot with butter.

In a large bowl, mix 2 eggs, 4 tbsp melted butter and 1/2 cup milk.
Add 2 cups flour sifted with 1 cup sugar, 2 tbsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt.

Cover apples with this dough and bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 35 minutes.
