• Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter in rows (drain excess water from the apples) and sprinkle some coarse sugar or raw sugar on top. You may also add some raisins over it if you like.
• Bake for about 30 minutes or a cake tester in the center comes out clean and cool the cake tart in the pan.

      做法：

• 准备一个长方形或一个8寸圆话底派模。预热烤箱摄氏190度。
• 将1汤匙细糖和肉桂粉混合均匀。
• 苹果去皮和核，切片，不要太薄，放入一个大碗里。洒入糖和肉桂粉，1/2汤匙柠檬汁，翻拌均匀，备用
• 面粉和发放一起过筛，备用。将牛油，柠檬皮屑和细糖打致松发。慢慢的加入鸡蛋，柠檬汁和香草香精，搅打均匀。最后用刮刀拌入面粉类，拌匀即可。
• 将面糊倒入圆派模，抹平。
• 苹果片排放在面糊上 （倒掉苹果多余的水分），撒上适量白糖或原蔗金砂糖。喜欢的话也可放些葡萄干增加口感。
• 送进烤箱烤约30分钟，或竹签扎入蛋糕内部，取出竹签不沾黏，即可出炉。等苹果蛋糕挞完全凉了便可切开享用。

     所为蛋糕挞的意思是：整体像个挞，其实苹果的底部是一层很薄松软的蛋糕皮。口感还真的很不错，做起也来相当简单。值得一试！
