Ingredients:

4 cups sliced apples (peeled and cored)
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation:

Combine first seven ingredients together in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender. Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13-inch pan. Sift together the 2 1/4 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a mixing bowl, ream shortening and sugar; add eggs then beat for 1 minute. Add alternately the milk and sifted dry ingredients. Place half of the batter in a second bowl. Blend in the last 5 ingredients. Spoon light and dark batters alternately over the apples. Bake at 350° for 50 to 60 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter or rack covered with waxed paper. Serve warm or cold; top with whipped cream, if desired.
