French Apple Cake

In this French Apple Cake, apples take center stage. In some apple desserts, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg are used. It is tempting to add just a bit of those fall spices to any apple cake recipe, but then it would no longer be a French apple cake. You might be surprised that this cake recipe doesn't need those traditional spices. The apples are wonderful on their own. They are tart, sweet, crisp, and soft. A hint of apple brandy kicks this fall dessert up a notch without overpowering the great fruit flavor. Make this French dessert for Thanksgiving or really any event this fall.
