1/2 cup unsalted butter or margarine
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray cooking spray onto springform pans.
Cream margarine and sugar in a bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, vanilla, salt, eggs, and beat well.
Spoon the batter into a spring form pan of 8", 9", or 10". Place apples into the batter in a circular pattern. Sprinkle sugar/cinnamon over top. Keep the sugar/cinnamon away from the edge of the baking tin to avoid having it caramelize and burn.
Bake for one hour. Test with a toothpick to see that it's baked. Remove and cool. Refrigerate or freeze. To serve a tort that was frozen, heat to 300°.
Variations:
2. Use blueberries and blueberry preserve or peaches and peach preserve.
3. Use combination of apple and cranberries as topping.
4. Try other fruits.
