3 to 4 cups peeled sliced or shredded apples (approx. 8 apples)
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons flour
Topping
3 apples
juice from one lemon
1 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine ingredients for crust in food processor and press into 9 inch spring-form pan. Bake crust for 15 minutes or until it starts to brown. Meanwhile peel and shred apples by hand or with a food processor. Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Spread evenly over crust. Cut remaining apples into consistent slices. Mix lemon juice, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon and dip apple slices into mixture. Arrange on top of cake in fan-like or other decorative pattern. Bake approximately 1 hour. Cool and remove from pan for immediate use, or freeze in pan and remove while frozen to help get cake out easily. Melt apple jelly and paint on top of cake for a finishing touch. Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow apple jelly to set.
