2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples, cut into thin slices, and place in a bowl. Pour off any accumulated liquid. Toss with remaining 1 tsp cinnamon and lemon juice and put them in the prepared pan, pressing down gently as you pack them in (they will mound above the edge of the pan). Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.

3. Put the pan on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet and bake 1 hour 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Runa knife around the edge of the pan and let the cake cool in the pan to set. Sprinkle with powdered sugar once cool. Serve at room temperature.
