1 stick butter
1 egg
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 1/2 cups apple
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine 1 cup sugar with cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.
Peel, core, and coarsely chop apples. Granny Smith apples should be used, since they retain their shape better than other types of apples. Prepare enough chopped apple to cover the bottom of the pan you'll be using and have a layer of apples 1-2 inches thick.

In a loaf pan or deep cake pan, bake the apples in a preheated 325F oven until soft. Remove from oven. Sprinkle the apples with the sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 egg, 1/3 teaspoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon almond extract (vanilla may be substituted).

Pour batter over apples and return pan to a preheated 350F oven. Bake until cake tests done....30-35 minutes.
