Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Grate rind from large lemon and set aside. Squeeze juice into bowl and set aside.
  2. Peel apples, cut them into quarters, and cut out cores. Dip them into lemon juice quickly so they won't turn brown. With a paring knife, cut 1/4-inch deep lines lengthwise into the outside part of the apple slices, keeping them parallel. Set aside on plate. These are the fanned apples the German bakers are so proud of.
  3. Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan with butter. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. In mixing bowl, cream butter and 1/2 C sugar together. Gradually add in flour and baking powder while mixing. Add eggs, lemon rind, and 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice. Mix well and pour into springform pan.
  5. Place the apple pieces, cut side up, in a decorative pattern.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over top of cake.
  7. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center (not in apple) comes out clean. Place on a cooling rack, and remove side of springform so it won't continue to cook.
  8. Serve with whipped cream.
