2 large apples, peeled and sliced
GINGERBREAD:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1/2 cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Pour butter into a 9-in. square baking pan; sprinkle with brown sugar. Arrange apples over sugar; set aside.

For gingerbread, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, then molasses. Combine dry ingredients; add to sugar mixture alternately with tea, beating well after each addition.
Pour over apples. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
