Filling:
3lbs Cooking Apples (I used a variety of kinds)
1/3 C sugar
1/2 C water
2 slices of lemon
Pastry:
2 C flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2C sugar
2/3 C butter
2 egg yolks
Peel, core and slice apples. Cook with sugar, water and lemon until tender - not mushy. Remove lemon.
Mix flour, 1 1/4C sugar, and the baking powder. Cut in 1/2C butter till crumbly. Mix in egg yolks. Reserve 1 C of this mixture for topping.
Pat remainder on bottom and sides of greased 9" spring form pan (dough only goes up a little on sides). Fill with apples. Sprinkle reserved mixture on top. Dot with remaining butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar (1 tbl). Bake 350 for 1 hour.
There you have it. We had a slice and then I sent the rest to Dr. Food's work. It was so good I didn't want to eat the whole thing myself.
