Recipe from my school days

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Grease and flour a 26cm springform pan. Beat the softened butter or margarine until fluffy. Stir in the egg yolks and icing sugar alternately, then add a little milk. Then stir in the flour mixed with the baking powder and the remaining milk. Finally, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff and carefully fold in. Pour the batter into the pan. Peel and halve the apples, and remove the cores. Drizzle with lemon juice and cut a slit in the tops. Now add the apple halves to the batter and press down. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 40-50 minutes (test with a skewer). Brush with apricot jam while still warm, and sprinkle with icing sugar once cooled.
