Viennese Apple Pie (Apple cake)

1/2 lb. butter
3/4 c. sugar
4 eggs
Dash salt
Rum to taste or 3/4 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1/8 tsp. baking powder

Mix ingredients according to series, then put 1/2 dough into the bottom of a spring form pan. Put 10-12 cut apples (3 Large Roman Beauty) mixed with cinnamon, raisins on top (optional) then second 1/2 of dough and 1/4 pkg. almonds.

Bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees then turn down to 350 degrees for 50 more minutes. Sprinkle with powered sugar.

Note from Wendy:  (When we made this, I bought a dozen apples-I think they were Fuji. My Grandma always used Roman Beauty when she baked any apples. I just sprinkled the cinnamon over the apples until they were all lightly coated.


Sorry not real clear. I wrote the recipe as the card had it!!!)
