• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 1/2 Tblsp sour milk

• Nuts if desired

Mix first 4 ingredients. Cream sugar and butter, add eggs and sour milk. Beat and add dry ingredients to it a 1/2 cup at a time. Add apples and nuts. Bake at 325 for 45 minutes. The recipe calls for an 8x8x2 in pan but I found for this size pan it had to be cooked a little longer. Just check it occasionally. The dough should be of a consistency of biscuit dough. You can use sweet milk, only use a teaspoon of vinegar as part of the 1 1/2 Tblsp of tart milk.
