German Covered Apple Cake
Dough:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 cup butter or margarine, cold
Apple filling:
3 lbs. apples, peeled and cored
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Glaze:
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 Tbsp. hot water
Apple filling:
Cook apples with the sugar, water and lemon slices until tender but not mushy. Drain and cool. Remove lemon slices.
Dough:
Sift flour and baking powder on a board or table. Make a hole in the middle, put sugar, vanilla and egg in the hole and mix to a smooth consistency. Add the cold butter in small pieces and work quickly until the dough forms a ball. Use 3/4 of the dough for the bottom and sides of the cake. (Use a 9-inch spring form pan.) Fill with pre cooked apples. Put the remaining dough on top of filling. Bake at 350 ° F. to 375° F. for 30 minutes.
