Break up a meeting with this apple torte

Ladies getting together at your house to
plan the year's agenda? Serve this crusty
apple torte—it's not too sweet for a morn-
ing or afternoon meeting, but becomes a
lavish dessert with the addition of vanilla
ice cream.
Ingredients: 4 Tbs. soft butter, 1 cup
sugar, 1 egg, 1 cup flour, 1 t. cinnamon,
½ t. baking powder, ¼ t. soda, ⅛ t. salt.
3 peeled, cored apples cut in lengthwise
slices ⅛″ thick. Cream together butter and
sugar. Add egg and beat until light and
fluffy. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking
powder, soda and salt, and beat in thor-
oughly. Stir apples into batter, which will
be thick and hard to stir. Turn into but-
tered 9″ pan and spread smooth. Bake at
350° 1 hour. Cool and cut into wedges.
Serve warm. Six servings.
