Skillet French Apple Cake
Nov 16, 2024 02:23 PM
Easy to make and loaded with fruit, this moist French apple cake recipe has the irresistible texture of bread pudding. Serve warm, straight from the cast iron skillet.
This cake is a sweet treat that’s as homey as it gets, inspired by a homestyle old-fashioned French or Italian-style apple cake.
Rustic and unfussy are two perfect words to describe this apple whiskey cake. Slice the cake with a knife right in the pan. A warm slice straight from the oven is the best way to encourage a full-on cozy fall feeling!
Instead of a cake pan or springform pan, this dessert is baked in a cast-iron skillet, which is a big part of its homespun appeal. But aside from what it’s baked in, I think it’s the texture that might be the winning detail.
