"Uncle Ken, is it done yet?"

I made this recipe Tuesday night. My sister-in-law, nephew and niece were over that night. I only had half of the cake left, when they departed.
This is a a very moist coffee cake. If the apples are large, use two. If they are small you can use four. Don't peel the apples. This was our landlord's recipe.
APPLE COFFEE CAKE


2 cups Granny Smith apples, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt

Mix apples and granulated sugar, then set aside for 1 or 2 hours. Cream butter and stir in egg, vanilla, flour, soda and salt. Add apple mixture and pour into an 8 x 8 inch baking pan.

TOPPING
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp butter

Sprinkle batter with mixture of sugar and cinnamon and dot with butter. Bake in 350 F oven for 30 to 35 minutes.

This took 45 minutes to cook. I used the middle rack, though.
