3 or 4 lg. apples
1/2 c. butter
1 1/3 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. reconstituted dry milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Arrange over batter in rows. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Cool. Cut into 12 squares with an apple ring in each center. Serve with whipped topping, if desired. Makes 12 servings.
