1 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
2 1/2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
8 oz. dried apples
3/4 c. sugar
water
Cream together the sugar, shortening & vanilla. Add the egg & milk; mix well. Add flour, salt & baking powder. Divide into 4 or 5 parts; shape into balls & roll out thin, like cookie dough, to the size of a plate. Bake on a cookie sheet at 325* until light brown. Put the dried apples in a pan & cover them with water. When they are almost done, sweeten them with 3/4 cup sugar & mash with a potato masher. If the apples are too runny, pour off some liquid. Allow apples to cool before stacking cake layers with the apples between each layer. Don’t put apples on top. Just before serving, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top. Best if cooked the day before serving. Trim cake to an even round shape as you are cutting it to serve.
