A Slice Of Apple Spelt Cake

I’m a happy camper this year as I have more apples on my trees than ever before, enough for me and whatever animals are feasting on them at night.  I feel like laying out a blanket and a picnic hamper, maybe some tooth picks or a few after dinner mints?

Apple Tree

The apples are tart and perfect for baking as well as eating, so I picked a basket full and baked my first apple cake of the season.  This apple cake recipe was adapted from The World Of Cake by Krystina Castella.

It’s a recipe loosely based on a French Canadian version of pound cake which is called a Quatre-Quarts.  The French name refers to it’s traditional ingredients consisting of one pound each of flour, butter, sugar and eggs.  The addition of apples and cinnamon to this simple pound cake recipe is a lovely way to bring early Fall’s apple season into your own home where you don’t have to share your apples with critters that make noises in the  middle of the night.
