Preparation
Step 1
Cream butter, oil, and sugar.
Step 2
Add eggs and vanilla.
Step 3
Mix in flour and baking powder.
Step 4
Mix well with hands or mixer. Press dough into 1 small or 1 large cookie tins. DO NOT PUT TOO MUCH INTO TIN, OR ELSE IT WILL BREAK ALL OVER THE OVEN WHEN IT RISES!
Step 5
Peel and slice apples into wedges approximately an eighth of an inch thick. Mix apples with a splash of lemon juice and the cinnamon, coating them.
Step 6
Layer apples in rows across the top of the cake, pushing them slightly into the cake dough.
Step 7
Bake at either 350 or 375 for about 45 minutes to an hour.
Blueberries or peaches can be substituted for the apples.
