1/2 cup slivered almonds
Powdered sugar

Spread butter dough (see below) in a 10x14 inch pan, pressing dough partially up the sides.

Arrange a layer of apples in rows on top. Sprinkle lightly with slivered almonds.

Bake in a 350°F. oven for 40 minutes, or until browned. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while cake is still hot.

Serves 12.

Butter Dough:

3 cups flour
1 lb. sweet butter
2 eggs, beaten

Mix flour and salt with 1/2 lb. of the butter, cutting in butter using a pastry blender or large fork. Add beaten eggs and work dough until it has bubbles.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured board and spread 1/4 lb. softened butter over half the dough. Fold the other half over, and top with the remaining 1/4 lb. butter. Fold dough over and roll flat, repeating rolling and folding process 3 times in all.
