Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1/2 cup sweet creamy butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 medium apples, peeled,cored and sliced into 1/4 inch wedges (i prefer granny smith)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• cinnamon-sugar mixture, for topping

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350°f.

• 3 add lemon juice and nutmeg to sliced apples, set aside.
• 4 cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy.
• 5 add the eggs and vanilla, mix well.
• 6 sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and add to batter.
• 7 spread the dough in the greased springform pan.
• 8 layer the apple slices over the dough in concentric circles, overlapping each row (i like to leave a small space between slices otherwise cake tends not to rise enough).
• 9 sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top.
• 10 bake for 50 to 60 minutes until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
