French Apple Cake

This French apple cake is just fantastic. When you tell someone that this is your favorite apple cake, they might appear skeptical given that France is known for its incredibly sophisticated pastries and baked products. But trust me when I say that this cake is truly excellent despite its simplicity and ease of preparation. .

Prep Time: 30 mins

Cook Time: 45 mins

Cool Time: 30 mins

Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins



Ingredients

  • 3 large baking apples (such as Honeycrisp), cubed (about 4 cups)

  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 cup all purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 1/2 cup white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3 tablespoons dark rum

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar for the top

  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting (optional)


Directions

  1. The oven should be preheated to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the cake pan, then place parchment paper on the bottom.
  2. Apples should be peeled, cored, and cut into cubes that range in size from 1/4 to 3/8 inch. If your cubes are any larger, they won't become delicate enough when cooked, but a bit smaller is acceptable.  Toss with apple cider vinegar in a big basin after adding.
  3. In a small bowl, combine salt, baking powder, and flour.
  4. Beat butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a separate bowl until frothy and light. One egg should be added, and the mixture should be smooth, at a high speed. Repeat with the second egg. Rum, vanilla essence, and half of the flour mixture should be combined.  Add the remaining ingredients and combine with a spatula once the flour has completely disappeared.
  5. Apples should be folded into the batter until well-combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, pressing it all firmly into place. Dust with remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar after smoothing top.
  6. Bake for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Take cake out of the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes in the pan. Place a serving dish on top of the cake when it has been inverted onto a wire rack to cool. Add powdered sugar to the top before serving.

12 Healthy Daily Habits

Consistency in your health can be built by developing a simple but efficient daily practice. Your daily activities have an effect on your stress levels, sleeping patterns, and eating habits in addition to your general health. Your general health is affected by everything you do, from what you do first thing in the morning to what you do last thing at night. The best method to establish a healthy daily routine and healthy daily habits that will endure over time is to concentrate on tiny habits and perform them consistently rather than trying to change everything at once. A habit is described in the dictionary as "an ingrained tendency or usual mode of behaviour" or "a behaviour pattern acquired through repeated exposure." As a result, by definition, a habit is something that is repeated frequently, and developing consistent healthy behaviours is crucial for maintaining good health. Although occasionally eating vegetables or doing out is fantastic, practising these ro
