Lithuanian Apple Upside-Down Cake image

This is from the "Art of Lithuanian Cooking". This isn't a cake as it's usually known; it has no eggs. I haven't made this yet.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar (plus a little more)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter
6 apples (peeled, cored and cut into small sections)
jucie of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut butter into the flour mixture until small crumbs form.
  • Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern on the baking dish. (I would us an 8x8 one.) Sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • Cover apples evenly with flour mixture. (I would press lightly.) Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes.
  • After it has cooled, invert onto a platter and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar.
  • VARIATION: Place baking dish on stove top with 1/2 cup sugar and a little butter. Cook until sugar becomes brown and caramelized. Then the apples are placed in it as described above, with the crumbs on top, and then baked. Makes for a nice caramelized look.
