Toss apple slices with Calvados and lemon juice and let cool for 15 minutes.
• 2. Whisk 1 cup flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together in bowl. Whisk egg, oil, milk, and vanilla together in second bowl until smooth. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Transfer 1 cup batter to separate bowl and set aside.
• 3. Add egg yolks to remaining batter and whisk to combine. Using spatula, gently fold in cooled apples. Transfer batter to prepared pan; using offset spatula, spread batter evenly to pan edges, gently pressing on apples to create even, compact layer, and smooth surface.
• 4. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons flour into reserved batter. Pour over batter in pan and spread batter evenly to pan edges and smooth surface. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar evenly over cake.
• 5. Bake until center of cake is set, toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, and top is golden brown, about 1 1/4 hours. Transfer pan to wire rack; let cool for 5 minutes. Run paring knife around sides of pan and let cool completely, 2 to 3 hours. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar, cut into wedges, and serve.

APPLE CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Mix flour and butter until crumbly. Add the almonds and sugar. Knead together well.
• Divide the dough into 4 sections. Roll each section into even thin layers. HERE'S WHERE GEOMETRY IS NEED. You will need to cut each piece into the desired size you will need. These will be large cookies that you'll put together to form your cake, so your layers must be uniform.
• Put the layers on a cookie sheet (you'll have to bake 2 at a time but it's ok). Bake for 12 - 15 minutes till the layers are light golden.
• Carefully slide them off the cookie sheet and cool.
• Make your filling:.
• Bring the sugar and 3/4 cup water to a boil. Add chopped apples. A few minutes later add almonds, citron and lemon juice. Cook the mix until it becomes lie a thick jelly consistency. Careful, so it doesn't burn. Remove from heat and cool.
• Once you've baked and cooled your large cookies, spread a layer of filling on each layer and cover top with the lemon glaze, letting it drip down the sides. Chill overnight in refrigerator. Before serving you'll need to let the cake stand at room temp for about 1 hour to get abit soft.
