Apple Torte

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. 2
   Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
3. 3
   Add lemon juice and nutmeg to sliced apples, set aside.
4. 4
   Cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy.
5. 5
   Add the eggs and vanilla, mix well.
6. 6
   Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and add to batter.
7. 7
   Spread the dough in the greased springform pan.
8. 8
   Layer the apple slices over the dough in concentric circles, overlapping each row (I like to leave a small space between slices otherwise cake tends not to rise enough).
9. 9
   Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top.
10. 10
    Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
