Ingredients:

5 Braeburn Apples
The juice from one lemon
½ cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
½ cup softened butter
1-cup milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Peel, core and slice apples into thin slices and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle the slices with the juice of one lemon and toss gently to prevent the slices from turning brown.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, butter and milk, blending well. Fold apple slices into batter.
Pour batter into a buttered 10inch-baking pan. Bake in 350-degree oven for 60 minutes. Check doneness with toothpick. Dust top of cooled cake with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh sliced apples and a sprig of rosemary. Serve warm with heavy whipping cream.
