What makes an apple cake a French apple cake? I do not know. Well, this is a recipe I got from the people at Janie\u2019s Mill. And I modified it, because I did not like the original version. Mine is much better now. I may keep experimenting with it, but for now it\u2019s pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Notes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Compared to the original recipe, this one has less than half the sugar, much less salt, more flour, more cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, and no rum. I tweaked it over time until I thought it came out perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Baking time depends on your oven. It\u2019s a delicate balance between the apples being just soft enough and the cake not being too dry overall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
