Try this recipe - my kids love it.
Apple Kuchen
1/2 cup sugar
3 T oil or melted shortening
pinch of salt
1 egg
1 cup mik
3 cups flour
3 rounded T baking powder
Mix all ingredients well and spread in a greased jelly roll pan - the one I use is about 17x11. I find with a smaller pan, the base is too thick and doughy for me.
Peel and cut 3-4 apples (2 if they're really big!) into slices; press lightly into the dough in rows.
Topping:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 heaping tsp flour
Mix and sprinkle evenly over apples. Melt 1 stick of butter and pour evenly over topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
