Grandma's Dutch Apple Cake


My grandma made this when I was a girl, so it brings back memories.  The bottom layer a is cake-like, but its not sweet.  It mixes perfectly with the apples in the center and the caramelized topping.

1 ¼ C flour
1 t baking powder
½ t salt
1 t sugar
½ C butter
1 egg yolk
2 T milk
3 C pared, sliced apples

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cream butter; add dry mixture. Combine egg yolk and milk; add to butter mixture and mix. Press mixture into bottom of greased 11 x 7-inch coffee cake pan. Press apple slices into dough so they overlap. Sprinkle with topping. Bake at 375F for about 50 minutes. 

Topping:
¾ C sugar
1 ½ T flour
¼ t cinnamon
2 T butter

Mix sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs are formed.
