Three fourths cup Plus 1 tablespoon sugar;
divided use
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 One half cup Allpurpose flour
1 One fourth teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth teaspoon Baking soda
2 lg Sweet apples; such as Golden
Delicious, (Three fourths pound
total)
2 lg Eggs
One fourth cup Honey
5 tablespoon Vegetable oil
One fourth cup Applesauce
1 teaspoon Finely grated lemon rind
2 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Water
2 tablespoon Chopped walnuts

Notes: From Orange County Register

Preliminaries: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil an 8inch square
pan, line it with foil, and lightly oil the foil. Flour the foil lightly.

1. Mix 1 tablespoon sugar with the cinnamon. Sift the flour, baking powder
and baking soda. Pare, halve, core and slice the apples thin, under 1/4
inch; set aside.

2. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the remaining Three fourths cup sugar on medium
speed about 3 minutes or until light. Add the honey, vegetable oil,
applesauce and lemon rind and beat to blend. In a small cup, mix the lemon
juice and water. With a mixer on low speed, add flour mixture and diluted
lemon juice alternately in 3 batches. Add walnuts and blend on low speed.

3. Spoon onethird of batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange
half the apple slices on the batter and sprinkle evenly with half the
cinnamon mixture. Spoon another onethird of the batter in dollops over the
apples. Repeat with another layer of apples and cinnamon. Top with
remaining batter; the apples may peek through in spots.

4. Bake about 40 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in cake's center
comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a rack about 30 minutes. Run a metal
spatula around cake and turn out onto rack. Let cool before serving.
