German Apple Cake-Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Crust or Cake
    1/2 cup butter
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/4 cups flour
    1 egg
    2 tablespoons milk
    Apple Filling
    4 -5 large apples, peeled and sliced
    Topping
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 1/2 tablespoons flour
    2 1/2 teaspoons butter, softened
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Cake/Crust: Mix dry ingredients and cut in butter as for a pie crust (mixture should be \"sandy\" with small pea-sized lumps of butter).
    Add egg and milk and mix well.
    Pat into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 11 1/2 X 7 1/2 baking dish (I use large ceramic quiche pan).
    Filling: Arrange apple slices in a spiral around pan (I start outside and work in, eventually cutting pieces to fit).
    Topping: Mix topping ingredients and spread over apples. Bake for about 40 minutes or until apples are tender.
    Toward the end of the baking time you can also run it under a broiler to nicely brown the edges of the apples for the extra \"wow\" factor.
