Apple Buckle

Each year a client brings a bushel of apples to our office and I make pies and such from the ones we don't eat.

This year I made an apple buckle. It was really good! The recipe came from SparkPeople.

APPLE BUCKLE

Dough:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 butter melted
1 egg beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Apples:
5 medium apples, peeled, cored and very thinly sliced
2 tsp cinnamon
6 tblsp sugar

Crumble:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup butter, softened, not melted
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease a 9 x 11 inch pan

In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

I in a medium bowl, using a mixer, combine the sugar, melted butter, egg and milk. Blend until smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until well blended.

Toss the apples with the cinnamon and sugar. Using a wooden spoon mix the apples into the dough. The batter will be rather stiff.

Place the apples and dough into the prepared pan.

Using a fork or a pastry blender combine the crumble ingredients. Sprinkle evenly over the dough in the pan.

Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Make sure you are not sticking the toothpick into an apple.
