In reply to Frank.

This reminded me of my husband, Frank! He was always a “bring something salty” to a game night until I made him something sweet to bring, so he had no other choice. And the plate was demolished. Everyone seems only thinks of salty, but at the end of it, everyone craves something a little sweet to round it off – and this cake would fit the bill perfectly. So glad you and your friends enjoyed it 🙂

Absolutely tremendous! I made this instead of Tarte Tatin (I was lazy and didn’t feel like making the crust) and this is my new go to! Can’t thank you enough!

Merci, Nina! The addition of spices like nutmeg and cinnamon are not typically French at all, but they pair perfectly! My husband grew up with those spices so they’re “normal” to him with apples. Here, it’s a bit rare to find apples spiced, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love them with apple – so go right ahead!

I’ve made this recipe several times now! It’s my go-to for something quick and delicious when guests are coming over. It’s amazing as is but i also like to sometimes add blueberries when in season or freshly ground nutmeg and cinnamon. Can’t go wrong with this recipe! Thank yo so much!

In reply to Re Baretela. Thank you so much, Re! I hope these tips will help other readers who also want/need to utilize Gluten Free flour. Thrilled that you enjoyed it, and the brandy sauce... No complaints over here :)

Delicious! I used cup 4 cup GF flour & it was still perfect. The only thing I would adjust is a bit less butter because the GF flour doesn’t absorb as well as wheat flour. Also made a brandy sauce to spoon over the top. Made an excellent company dessert.

The most important thing, especially for a first go at a recipe, is that it tastes great! So compliments to you! It can be difficult to replicate certain things exactly, as every oven/stove is different with heat, but now that you’ve made it once, you know what you need to adjust to have it come out perfect the next time.

I hope you’ll enjoy the other apple based recipes as well, they’re extremely popular and the comments contain some great info as well. Thanks, Amanda! 🙂

It didn’t turn out as lovely-looking as yours, but it still tasted great! I had to turn the heat up a bit for the apple-caramalizing, so it took a bit more than 10 minutes because I initially had the heat a bit too low. This was something my host mother used to make often when I lived near Rennes, France for a year in 2000-2001. I am excited to try the more cake-y apple recipe now. This one is definitely egg forward but delicious!
