FFWD: Marie Helene’s Apple Cake
October 28, 2010 1 Comment
This is Marie Helene’s Apple Cake from Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table.
I made 1/2 a recipe and baked in a 7 inch pan with removable bottom. I used 3 different kinds of apples (Jonagold , Honeycrisp, and Golden Delicious.) I know for 1/2 a recipe I should have used only 2 of them but I want to get a lot of variety in the mix.
This cake is super easy to make, probably one of the easiest cakes I’ve made. I don’t even have to crank on the KA mixer and that’s saying a lot.
Tasting impressions:
Hubby gave it a thumbs up and said it’s really good. As for me, on the day of baking, I thought the cake was good but not special. The next day, the taste improves and I am changing my verdict. It is really good. I love that there are more apples than dough in there. The dark rum definitely adds a dimension to the taste. This one will be repeated for sure.

Wow you got the jump on this eh? It looks yummy… mine is cooling off and Tom is dying to dig in. We are stopping for more apples tonight, so I can make ANOTHER one so I can take it to work tomorrow for the pot luck we are having.. but, the smells coming from it are glorious.
