- Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
- Peel, core and cut the apples into eighths (or more if the apples are large). As you're working, drop the apple slices into the batter & combine to avoid them turning brown.
- Bake for 30 minutes, tenting with aluminum foil if the top becomes too brown.
- While it's baking, make the topping by beating together the 1 egg, melted butter and brown sugar.
- After 30 minutes, spread the topping evenly over the cake and bake another 10 minutes, until carmelized on top.
- Cool in the pan on a rack. Serve warm or cool. It reheats nicely.
