Apple coffee cake

Set the oven to 375?‚?°F. Grease a 9-inch
square baking dish with or pie pan a 4-cup capacity.

Sift the
flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a bowl, combine 1/3 a cup of
the sugar with the cinnamon, set aside.

In the bowl of an
electric mixer, cream the butter with the remaining 1/3 cup sugar. Beat
in the egg until blended. Add the flour mixture in three additions,
alternating with the milk, beating until just combined.

Spread
half the batter in the baking dish. Lay the apple slices on the batter
so they just cover the batter (you may have to overlap some slices).
Sprinkle the apples with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Spread the
rest of the batter over the apples. Sprinkle the remaining
cinnamon-sugar on top.

Bake the cake for 25 minutes or until it
is golden brown and apples start to bubble at the
edges.
