4 c. sliced apples
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Bake 20 minutes and add topping.

1/2 c. sugar
2 tbsp. butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. coconut, optional

Peel and slice into buttered 9 or 10 inch glass pie plate. Mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon, add apples; stirring enough to coat the slices with sugar. Bake for 20 minutes in 375 degree oven while preparing the topping.

TOPPING:

Cream butter and second 1/2 cup of sugar. Add beaten egg, then sifted ingredients, vanilla and coconut. Spread this completely over the surface of hot apples. Bake 30 minutes longer at 375 degrees or until the apples are tender, and the crust is golden brown. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or cold. Whipped cream or ice cream make a good addition. Coconut gives the macaroon flavor.
