Gâteau aux pommes

Funny that food seems fancy and more appetizing in French. But no matter how you dress a snail, escargot could never work for me.

I made this simple but very tasty cake following Chef John’s French apple cake recipe. This was my first try and it turned out delicious. This simple and delicious recipe is perfect for our upcoming family gathering on Christmas. A commenter suggested soaking the apples in rum. I think I will try their suggestion for the next time.

Serving suggestion: Keep it simple, refrain from over complicating a serving with competing additions. Serve by itself, or with a dollop of crème fraîche, mascarpone cream cheese, whipped cream, or ice cream on the side.
