APPLE JELLY CAKE

Instructions

1In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and lukewarm milk. Add 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir to combine.
2Add the yeast and unbeaten eggs to the mixture. Stir well.
3Gradually add flour to make a soft dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
4Punch down the dough to release the air. Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
5Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Spread the dough thinly in the prepared pan and brush with melted butter.
6Peel, core, and cut the apples into eighths. Press the sharp edges of the apple slices into the dough in parallel rows lengthwise of the pan.
7Sprinkle the apples with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle with currants. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
8Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
9Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving hot or cold. Serve with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored, if desired.
