APPELGEBAK

Steps:

• Butter a 10 inch round pan (2 inches deep) and line with a disk of buttered parchment; set aside.
• Position oven rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°.
• In a bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together; set aside.
• Add butter and ¾ cup sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with paddle on medium speed until soft and light, about 3-4 minutes.
• Beat in 1 egg until smooth, beat in the vanilla and lemon zest.
• Beat in about 1/3 of the flour mixture until smooth, and then beat in another egg.
• Beat in another 1/3 of the flour mixture and then beat in the remaining egg.
• Stop and scrape the bowl and paddle, and then beat in the remaining flour mixture.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Arrange 11 of the apple quarters, core side down, on the batter, in a circle near the edges of the pan.
• Place the last apple quarter in the center of the batter; sprinkle the apples with the 2 tablespoons of sugar.
• Bake the cake until the apples have softened, about 1 hour; the batter will definitely be baked through in this amount of time.
• Cook the cake on a rack in the pan, then unmold it onto another rack and lift away the first rack and replace it with a platter; invert cake again and lift off the top rack.
• Make the glaze: stir the preserves and water together in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze comes to a simmer.
• Strain the glaze into another pan and place it back on the heat; allow the glaze to reduce until it is slightly sticky and no longer watery, about 2 minutes.
• Immediately pain the hot glaze onto the apple quarters, using a brush; let the glaze cool and set before serving the cake.
• Cut the cake into wedges; a little whipped cream would be good with this cake.
