I love apples and honestly never get tired of them since there are so many varieties to choose from, especially in Fall. So if you’re like me and love a classic or simply looking to impress guests then bake this French Apple Cake for a delicious week end treat. The recipe is simple and you can make it with ingredients easily on hand. The cake comes together quickly: soft, not too sweet, with a divine taste of apple. Just make sure you don’t over bake it. Cinnamon adds a nice warmth at the end of each bite and really completes the cake.
