APPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
 
3 or 4 medium-size apples
1/4 c melted butter
1/2 c brown sugar
 
Preheat oven to 350 deg F.  Grease a 13 x 9 x 2" baking pan; line
bottom with waxed paper and then grease paper.

Pare and core apples; then cut into 1/4" thick wedges (about 2
cups).  Pour melted butter in pan and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Arrange apples, edge to edge, over sugar.
 

2 c sifted unbleached flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 c shortening, softened
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 c milk
 
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.  Cream shortening
with sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating
well after each addition.  Mix in dry ingredients alternately with
milk; add vanilla and blend well.  Pour batter over apples.  Bake
40-45 min.  Turn cake upside down on a large cake plate or platter
immediately.  Serve warm with whipped cream.
