Apple Pie Cake

Direction :

Make crisp mixture:
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Using an electric mixer or a pastry cutter, cut in butter until the mixture forms pea-size pieces.
Press crisp mixture into pan:
Press 2/3 of the mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch springform pan.
Preheat the oven; peel and slice apples:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples, cut into thin slices, and place in a bowl. Pour off any accumulated liquid. Toss apple slices with remaining teaspoon cinnamon and lemon juice.
Assemble:
Transfer apples to the prepared pan, pressing down gently as you pack them in (they will mound above the edge of the pan). Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture on top.
Bake:
Put the pan on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Cool in pan:
Run a knife around the edge of the pan, and let the cake cool in the pan to set. Serve at room temperature, dusted with confectioner's sugar if desired.
