Apple Jack

This is a nice fall apple recipe to make when you are looking for something a bit different than the typical apple crisp. This topping is more cake-like. This recipe is quick and easy, always a hit, and can easily be doubled. I bet it would  be good with other fruits too. It comes from Company's Coming "Desserts".

Apple Jack
6 large apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup granulated (white) sugar
ground cinnamon, to sprinkle
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter or hard margarine, melted
1/2 cup granulated (white) sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350◦F. Lightly butter an 8x8 inch casserole dish.
Arrange apples in bottom of dish. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, mix the egg, butter, and sugar. Stir in milk. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, mix well. Spoon over apples. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm. Good with cream or ice cream.
Because I used a glass pan, I baked it at 325◦F. It took a bit longer to cook thoroughly.
