Dutch Apple Cake (Two portions)

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 Egg
• 1/3 cup Milk
• 1 Sour apple
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Sugar (For Lemon Sauce)
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (For Lemon Sauce)
• 1 cup Water (For Lemon Sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (For Lemon Sauce)
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt (For Lemon Sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Butter (For Lemon Sauce)

Instructions

1. 1In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and egg and mix well until just combined.
2. 2Spread the dough about 1/2 inch thick in a shallow baking pan. Pare and cut the apples into lengthwise sections. Lay the apple sections in rows on top of the dough, pressing the sharp edges lightly into the dough.
3. 3Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples.
4. 4Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. 5In a saucepan, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the water and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add the lemon juice and butter. Beat vigorously until smooth.
6. 6Serve the Dutch Apple Cake warm with the lemon sauce.
