Directions
Heat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Grease an 11x7-inch baking pan. Mix flour and baking powder.
In a large bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar with electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
Beat in egg and lemon peel.
With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture.
Remove ⅔ cup dough.
With floured fingers, pat remaining dough over bottom of prepared pan.
Spread apple slices mixed with golden raisins and ground cinnamon.
Spread over dough, using a rubber spatula to break up apples if needed to cover dough.
Roll remaining dough into long ropes and lay diagonally across filling to create a lattice effect.
Bake 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Cool in pan.
Dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting.
