-----------
Apple Cake (Apfel Kuchen)
1 1/2 cake FLEISCHMANN'S YEAST
1 cup milk, scalded and cooled
1 tablespoonful sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/4 teaspoonful salt
5 apples
Dissolve yeast and one tablespoonful sugar in lukewarm milk, add one and one-half cups flour to make a sponge, and beat until smooth. Cover and set aside in a warm place until light - about three-quarters of an hour. Have sugar and butter well-creamed, add it to sponge. Then add eggs well-beaten, rest of flour, or enough to make a soft dough, and salt. Knead lightly. Place in well-greased bowl. Cover and set aside to rise - about two hours. Roll half an inch thick. Place in two well-greased, shallow pans. Brush with butter, sprinkle with sugar. Cut apples in eighths and press into dough, sharp edge downward. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover and let rise about one-half hour. Bake twenty minutes. Keep covered with pan first ten minutes, in order that the apples may be thoroughly cooked.
