                      (Pre-heat oven @ 375 degrees)

         Batter                                    Apple Filling
         ------                                    -------------
         1 cup butter, softened                    2/3 cup light brown sugar
         2 cup sugar                               2 tsp. cinnamon
         4 eggs                                    1 Tbsp. lemon juice
         1 tsp. vanilla extract                    2 Tbsp. light cream
         1/2 tsp. almond extract                   1/8 tsp. nutmeg
         3 cup flour                               3 Tbsp. Cornstarch
     
                                                   8-10 Good size Mac. Apples
                                                        (Peeled and sliced)

         Directions:  Put together apple filling, and set aside.
                      Cream sugar and butter.  Add eggs, one at
                      a time.  Add extracts.  Add flour one cup
                      at a time.  Beat mixture for 2 minutes.
                      spread 2/3rds to 3/4ths of batter on a 
                      greased and floured 10" x 15" (jelly roll)
                      pan.  Spread apple filling evenly over 
                      batter.  Drop remaining batter by teaspoonful
                      atop this. (*)  Bake for 30 minutes.
                      Let cool a bit.  Serve warm, with fresh
                      whipped cream.
     
                      *  Batter is very thick!  You will not be able
                      to really spread the batter on top, however,
                      once in the oven, the batter will melt and 
                      spread around itself.

         Freezing:    This cake freezes well.  Thaw for 1 hour.
                      Then warm for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.
