Ingredients:

2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour

1⁄3 cup sugar

1 envelope Rapid Rise Yeast 

1 teaspoon salt

1⁄2 cup water

1⁄4 cup milk

1⁄3 cup butter or margarine

1 egg, large

3 cups sliced fresh cooking apple

Cinnamon Topping (recipe follows)

 

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine 3⁄4 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm (120° to 130°F). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scrap- ing bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in remaining flour to make a stiff batter. Turn into greased 13 x 9-inch pan. Arrange apple slices evenly over batter; sprinkle with Cinnamon Topping. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes or until done. Cool in pan on wire rack, or serve warm with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.

 

Cinnamon Topping: In a small bowl, combine 2⁄3 cup sugar and 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
