6 large tart apples (about 2 1/2 pounds) peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespooons baking powder
1/2 salt

1/2 (1 stick) cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
additional butter for preparing the pan
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13" X 9" baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine apple slices, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, 2
tablespoons flour and lemon juice. Toss apple slices gently but enough
to coat each apple slice with other ingredients.
In a medium bowl, place 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, baking powder and
salt. Stir to blend. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs together with the
melted butter, water, and vanilla, blending thoroughly. Add the egg
mixture to the bowl with the mixed dry ingredients. Stir until a thick
dough forms.
Measure approximately 1 3/4 cups dough and spread it over the prepared
baking pan. Spread the apple mixture over top the dough. Scoop up
spoonfuls of the remaining dough and drop them evenly over the apple
layer. There will not be enough dough to form a complete top layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the contents of the
baking dish. cover the pan tightly with foil.
Bake the cake covered for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue
baking about 45 more minutes, until the cake is golden brown and the
apples are tender. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire
rack for 30 minutes.
Serve the cake warm.
