Welcome to the Captain's Galley
Here we will have lots of fun in the cooking and
then the eating and that I enjoy the best.



APPLE CAKE-1


6 oz. Allinson fine wheat meal
6 oz. white flour
4-1/2 butter
1 - egg
1-1/2 lbs. of apples
1 teaspoonful cinnamon
3 oz. castor sugar
and a little cold water


Rub the butter into the meal and flour, beat up the egg and add it, and as much cold water as is required to make a smooth pastry.
Roll out the greater part of it 1/4 inch thick, and line a flat buttered tin with it.
Pare, core, and cut the apples into thin divisions, arrange them in close rows on the paste point down, leaving 1 inch of edge uncovered;
Sift the sugar and cinnamon over the apples.

Roll out thinly the rest of the pastry, cover the apples with it, turn up the edges of the bottom crust over the edges of the top crust, make 2 incisions in the crust, and bake the cake until brown in a moderately hot oven.

When cold sift castor sugar over it, slip the cake off the tin, cut into pieces, and serve.
