Directions: |
Directions:Dough: Mix sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, flour and baking powder together to make a soft, for stiff dough. Add a bit more flour if needed. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill 10–15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare apples and toss with lemon juice and sugar. Brush bottom and sides of 10 inch springform pan with melted butter.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Pat out dough evenly on bottom and sides of pan (dough should be between 1/8–1/4 inch thick). Fill with apple slices, pressing gently. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
Bake cake one to one-and-a-half hours (remove foil after 15 minutes) or until apples are soft. (Top apples will seems dry, interior apples should begin to feel a touch soft — you can put a cake tester into cake and this will give you an idea of how cooked the inner apples are).
Vanilla Sauce: Mixing all ingredients in order given. Pour over hot cake, trying to get sauce to drip into all the crevices. Bake another 20 minutes. Refrigerate cake at least four hours or overnight. Dust with icing sugar. |
