How to Make Dutch Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch tart or pie pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. Cut in 1 ½ tablespoons margarine using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add 2 large egg whites, ¼ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Beat until smooth. The batter will be stiff.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly to fit.
  8. Arrange apple slices (about 4 medium apples, peeled and sliced) overlapping in two concentric circles to cover the batter.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apple slices.
  11. Dot with ½ tablespoon margarine.
  12. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
