Apple Cake
- 1 c All-purpose flour; sift
- 1 1/2 ts Baking powder
- 1/2 tb Salt
- 1 tb Sugar
- 1/4 c Shortening
- 1 Egg; slightly beaten
- 1/4 c Milk
- 4 c Tart apples; slice, peel,
- Core
- 1/2 tb Cinnamon
- 1/4 tb Nutmeg
- 2 tb Granulated sugar
- 1/2 c Apricot jam
- 2 tb Shortening; melt
In a medium-large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt,
and 1 tb granulated sugar. With two knives, cut the shortening into the
flour until mixture is mealy. Make a well in the center and drop in the egg
and milk. Stir in the flour mixture to form smooth batter, turn into
greased 2-quart mold. Arrange the apples in rows on top, pushing them
halfway into the dough. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg and 2
tablespoons sugar. Sprinkle over the apples and dot with apricot jam.
Drizzle butter over all. Place in the slow cooker and cover loosely with a
plate. Cover the cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick
or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape. Cook on High for 3 to 4
hours.
