I have always loved any dessert that include apples in it, but this French Apple Cake I think could be my favorite. It is spongy, light, full of flavor and the rum makes the perfect combo with the sweetness of the apples.
Apples are incredibly healthy, and consuming them often is linked to a lower risk of diseases like diabetes and cancer. (1)
I published recently another cake apple recipe, really light topped with a streusel in case you want to have a look.
Let’s go!

Notes
- By the way … If you want to freeze this cake, first let cool completely, then place in a freezer bag, I have never done it as we literally eat the whole cake the same day it comes out of the oven but I believe it will be anyway delicious.
Es muy parecida a una receta que yo hago pero el toque indiscutible del ron y la forma de cortar la manzana hace la gran diferencia, a favor de esta claro está …..
