Dorota, I dug out my Sept 99 issue and sure enough, it was open to this page! I made this tort last year. Here it is:

As this buttery cake bakes, the apples sink into it as though they have been swallowed. Choose medium-size apples for the best presentation. Rome, Winesap, and Newton Pippin will work, too.

1/3 cup honey
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 Granny smith apples, peeled and each cut into 8 wedges (about 1 1/4 lb)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
6 Tbsp butter or stick margarine, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
cooking spray
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Combine honey and lemon juice in a large nonstick skillet; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add apples; cook 14 minutes or until almost tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, set aside.
