Apple Cake Recipe
- 1½ cakes
- FLEISCHMANN'S
- YEAST
- 1 cup milk, scalded and cooled
- 1 tablespoonful sugar
- 3½ cups sifted flour
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ teaspoonful salt
- 5 apples
Dissolve yeast and one tablespoonful sugar in lukewarm milk, add one and one-half cups flour to make a sponge and beat until smooth. Cover and set aside in warm place until light--about three-quarters of an hour.
Have sugar and butter well creamed, add to sponge. Then add eggs well beaten, rest of flour or enough to make a soft dough, and salt. Knead lightly. Place in well-greased bowl. Cover and set aside to rise--about two hours.
Roll half an inch thick. Place in two well-greased, shallow pans. Brush with butter, sprinkle with sugar. Cut apples in eighths and press into dough, sharp edge downward. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and let rise about one-half hour.
Bake twenty minutes. Keep covered with pan for first ten minutes, in order that the apples may be thoroughly cooked.
