Caroline's Apple Kuchen

• 34 cup butter or 34 cup margarine
• 34 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 12 cups all-purpose flour
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 5 golden delicious apples, pared and cored
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed to sprinkle on top

1. Cream butter and sugar and add eggs.
2. Beat until light and fluffy.
3. Add vanilla.
4. Stir in flour and salt to make a smooth dough.
5. Spread into a buttered 13-by-9-inch pan.
6. Halve the apples.
7. Make cuts in the apples 1/4-inch apart but not all the way through, so the halves still hold together.
8. Press the halves flat side down, making an attractive arrangement on the top of the batter.
9. Brush apples with melted butter.
10. Sprinkle with the brown sugar.
11. Bake at 425 degrees F for 30 minute until cake is golden and apples are cooked through.
