Norwegian Applecake

A great recipe for apple season; delicious and easy to make.  I got it from a Norwegian friend more than 30 years ago in Prince Rupert.  My Norwegian husband loves to eat it in a bowl dowsed in table cream.  I like it with a little ice cream, or even just a fresh warm crispy-edged slice by itself with coffee or tea.

Ingredients:

1 cup less 1 tablespoon sugar

3/4 cup butter or margarine

2 eggs

1  1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cream sugar into butter.  Add eggs one at a time.  Stir in sifted flour and baking powder.

Put in square or round baking pan.  Slice apples and insert into the top of the batter.  Sprinkle white sugar and cinnamon on top.

Bake for 40 minutes.

Go for a half hour jog while baking to ward off the extra pounds 🙂
