QUICK APPLE RASPBERRY CAKE (FRENCH-STYLE)

Steps:

• Peel, core and dice 2 apples. Place them in a food processor or blender and add the eggs, flour, a pinch of salt, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Purée for about 2 to 3 minutes. add the melted butter to the batter.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, coat a 7-inch springform pan with some butter and flour and place it on a baking sheet. Pour batter into the mold and add some berries all around.
• The next step is very important. In a bowl add squeeze one lemon. Set aside and proceed to peel, core and dice the rest of the apples. I cut 3 apples into thin slices.*Now you might be asking yourself "What about the lemon juice"? Place the slices of apples in the lemon juice. This will prevent the apple from turning brown.
• Now it's time to be creative. Place those sliced apples in a clockwise motion as I did but feel free to try something else. There is no rule when it comes to placing the apples. Just have fun with it:)
• Crack an egg and add one tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. This will enhance the color of the apple cake. Place in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes or use a toothpick to poke the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, your cake is done.
• Let the cake cool down for at least 15 minutes before cutting into it. while the cake is still warm this is when you can add some extra flavor like some powdered sugar and some extra raspberries, I can't get enough of those. You can also spread some marmalade. This will not only create a beautiful color but it will add a delightful flavor to this dessert (optional).

FRENCH APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch springform or regular cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. If using a regular cake pan, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease again.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and rum. Don't worry if the batter looks grainy at this point; that's okay. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped apples.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and even the top. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack in the pan. Once cool, run a blunt knife around the edges of the cake. If using a springform pan, remove the sides. If using a regular cake pan, carefully invert the cake onto the rack, remove the parchment paper, then gently flip the cake over and place right-side-up on a platter. Using a fine sieve, dust with confectioners' sugar (if using). Cake can be served warm or room temperature, plain or with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
• Freezer Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.
