Number Of Ingredients 11

7 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 egg yolks
½ cup tapioca
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Add flour mixture and gently mix until mixture forms a ball. Divide in half. Use one-half for bottom and one-half for top crust. Roll out one crust to fit a 9x13 inch ungreased pan. Sprinkle tapioca over dough.
  • Fill with sliced apples, piled high. Sprinkle with mixture of 3/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

This cake is the perfect way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that are about to go bad, so this cake is a great way to use them up.
