This is from the "Art of Lithuanian Cooking". I haven't made it yet. It's a pastry of sorts....not really pie, not really cake. Times are guesstimates and don't include the overnight chilling of the dough.

Steps:
- Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Cut butter into the flour mixture until small crumbs form.
- Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern on the baking dish. (I would us an 8x8 one.) Sprinkle with lemon juice.
- Cover apples evenly with flour mixture. (I would press lightly.) Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes.
- After it has cooled, invert onto a platter and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar.
- VARIATION: Place baking dish on stove top with 1/2 cup sugar and a little butter. Cook until sugar becomes brown and caramelized. Then the apples are placed in it as described above, with the crumbs on top, and then baked. Makes for a nice caramelized look.

LITHUANIAN BIRCH LOG
This is from the "Art of Lithuanian Cooking." I haven't made it yet. It's like a buche de noel, only white. I can't see any reason why you couldn't spray the pan instead of greasing it. It has a prune filling and a 7-minute frosting. Total times are guesstimates; please read thru first. If you're concerned about raw egg yolks in the filling, I would just use 1/4 c. egg beaters in their place.

- FILLING:.Boil the prunes. Drain; cool to room temperature Mash up finely (put thru sieve, food mill, food processor, etc.)

- Sakotis. Lithuanian sakotis is a spikey, column of cake that is made by dripping batter while a spit turns. These cakes can be either small or large and are easily found at traditional fairs, where you can sometimes watch them being made as the chef turns the spit and pours the batter over it.
