Chef's tip

For an even more indulgent touch 😋, sprinkle the top of the cake with brown sugar or cinnamon before baking to get a slightly caramelized crust! ✨🍎

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Up to 2 months in individual portions wrapped in plastic, then in a freezer bag.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container, at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Variations

Add a pinch of cinnamon, or more.
Serve with a little powdered sugar.
Replace some of the apples with pears.

Mistakes to avoid

Cutting the apples too thick: use a mandoline or a very sharp knife.
Not packing the batter in: pour the mixture in, pressing down lightly to even it out.
Unmolding right away: let it cool slightly before unmolding.
