   5       lb           Apples
                        Sugar
                        Lemon juice
                        Butter -- melted
   1 1/2   c            Toasted cake crumbs
     1/2   c            Currant jelly
   3       oz           Mixed nuts -- ground
  12                    Macaroons
   3       oz           Sliced blanched almonds
   1       c            Whipping cream

  Core, peel and slice apples. Season to taste with sugar and lemon
  juice and cook in small amount of water until apples are tender.
  Drain in large strainer and press to extract water. Pour melted
  butter into 2"-deep 10" layer cake pan, spreading evenly in pan.
  Sprinkle 1/2 cup cake crumbs over bottom of pan. Spread half of
  apples over crumbs. Top with jelly, then nuts, then 1/2 cup more
  crumbs. Place macaroons in layer over crumbs. Top with remaining
  apples and cover with remaining 1/2 cup cake crumbs. Bake at 450°F
  for 30 minutes. Cool in refrigerator. Sprinkle almonds lightly with
  water, then sprinkle with sugar and toast at 350°F for 15 to 20
  minutes or until golden. Shake pan after 10 minutes to keep almonds
  from sticking together. Whip cream and frost cake. Sprinkle with
  almonds.
