Farmer's Apple Cake

Serves 8 as Dessert.

I found this recipe among my grandmother's things. I think it originated in a Hastings, Nebraska YMCA neighborhood cookbook. She and I have tweaked it enough to feel like it is our own. It is a very filling dessert that would make a wonderful coffee cake, if you were inclined to have it for breakfast.

• 4 apples, large, granny smith and golden delicious mixed
  
• 1/4 c sugar
  
• 1 tsp cinnamon, good quality
  
• 1/2 c unsalted butter, melted
  
• 1 c golden brown sugar, packed
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 2 eggs, large
  
• 2-1/4 c flour
  
• 1/2 c milk
  

Peel and slice apples; spread evenly in the bottom of a buttered 10" round cake pan or equivalent. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon over the top of the apples.

In a medium mixer bowl add the remaining ingredients. Beat well, pour batter over apples and smooth. Bake in a 350 oven for 45 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream or real whipped cream.
