Apple Platz

This is a apple cake recipe that is made in a 10x15 cookie sheet. Very easy to make. This served warm with ice cream is very good. Freezes well. When the berries are in season I top this cake with blueberry, raspberry and blackberries.

• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 2  eggs

Directions

1. In bowl combine flour and sugar baking powder.
2. Add margarine and butter mix together with hands until you have fine crumbs.
3. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the crumbs.
4. In remaining crumb mixture add eggs, milk and vanilla, mix until just moist.
5. Pour batter onto a greased 10x15 cookie sheet, top with sliced apples.
6. Sprinkle 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp sugar on top of the apples.
7. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups of reserved crumb topping. Pat down slightly.
8. Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes.
9. When making the blueberry, raspberry, blackberry I don't use the 1 tsp sugar or the cinnamon (about 1 cup of each of the berries or more depending on how much fruit you like for topping).
10. ** When baking, place a larger cookie sheet underneath.
