RUSSIAN APPLE CAKE:

1-1/2 cups flour
3 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 cup milk
4 or 5 apples
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add shortening and rub in very lightly; add milk slowly to make soft dough and mix. Place on floured board and roll out 1/2-inch thick. Put into a shallow greased pan. I like to use a tart pan. Its just what I like. Wash, pare, core and cut apples into sections; press them into the dough, sprinkle with sugar and dust with cinnamon. Bake in moderate oven 30 minutes or until apples are tender and brown. Serve warm with milk or cream.

Enjoy

Variations: I have added bourbon or Rum and raisins, pecans even pears
