Recipe of the Month
French Apple Cake from "Milk Street" on PBS
This simple dessert is less cake than sauteed apples set in a thick, buttery custard encased in a golden crust.
(My husband, Dennis, is already begging me to make this again)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, plus more for pan
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples (tart), peeled, cored and cut into ¼-inch slices
1 pound Braeburn or Golden Delicious apples (sweet), peeled, cored and cut into ¼-inch slices
12 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons brandy or Calvados
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Heat the oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the middle position. Coat a 9 in. spring-form pan with butter, dust evenly with flour, the tap out the excess. In a 12 in. skillet over medium-high, melt the butter. Cook, swirling the pan frequently, until the milk solids at the bottom are golden brown and the butter has a nutty aroma, about 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small heat-proof bowl without scraping out the skillet. Stir the allspice into the butter and set aside.
Add all the apples, 2 Tbsp. of the sugar and the salt to the still-hot skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all moisture released by the apples has evaporated and the slices are beginning to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the brandy and cook until evaporated, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a large plate, spread in an even layer and refrigerate uncovered until cool to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla and 9 Tbsp, of the remaining sugar. Gradually whisk in the browned butter. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until smooth; the batter will be very thick. Add the cooled apples and fold until evenly coated with batter. Transfer to the prepared pan, spread in an even layer and sprinkle with the remaining 1 Tbsp, sugar.
Bake until deeply browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Run a knife around the inside of the pan and remove the sides before slicing.
