1 cup white sugar
softened butter (size of a walnut)
pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar (may substitute with baking powder)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sliced apples (Macintosh is excellent)

CARAMEL TOPPING:

1 cup brown sugar
2 cups boiling water
butter (size of a walnut)
2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray (Pam). Set aside.

Stir softened butter, salt, milk, vanilla, baking soda, cream of tartar, flour and apples together. Put in prepared baking dish.

Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and put the baking pan on it (this is to prevent a mess if it boils over).

For the caramel topping, sprinkle 1 cup of brown sugar on top. Pour 2 cups of boiling water on top, add butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.

When done cake will be on top and caramel topping on the bottom!

Serves 4 to 6.
