    Hi! I posted early this week because I’m having surgery tomorrow. Don’t worry. It’s only minor, but I won’t be in any condition to post for the next couple of days.

    Oooo la la la, am i early ?

    Gosh this was the most gorgeous cake , i topped it with crumble , added cinnamon, spice and all things nice to one part of the batter and forgot to add the ground coconut :-(

    Dorie, u recipe rock and are absolutely fool proof, i love this one whether topped with a pear or a blueberry sauce!!

    Had step by step pics[again] so took me awhile to upload ,so worth the deliciousness!!

    And honestly why ever did i halve the recipe [am eating so oo muc]

    And then there is this funny incident i added ,i asked somebody to get me 4 different kinds of apples and she brought me pears too [i already had them home,lol]

    This week I learnt not to mess with Dorie … well at least not when she refers to spring-form pans …

    … still I got some nice little cakettes and they made a nice birthday cake for myself!

    We love apple cake in this house. More apples than cake, we loved the light sweet taste of Marie Helene’s apple cake. As per Dorie’s suggestion, I used different apples: Granny Smith, Harrelson, Honey Crisp, and Fuji. With so few ingredients, I could taste the apples, the cake, and the hint of vanilla and rum to flavor it all. The cake was all gone in just a few days. We loved it.
    Here is the link. I have posted a “wrap up” of October’s recipes to my blog. The apple cake is at the bottom. http://www.peaceandloveinthekitchen.com/2010/10/french-fridays-with-dorie-october-in-photos

    This was very tasty…I almost didn’t make it because it is sweet, but I’m so glad that I did.

  57. gingerbreadbagels October 29, 2010 at 8:41 AM #

    The cake was incredibly easy to make and my favorite parts were the rum and apples! I made the cake twice but added some spices, more vanilla, more rum(!!) to the second one. I also made some rum whipped cream to go along with the cake. YUM!

    I used a little bourbon instead of rum. Not sure how well bourbon replaces rum, but it was pretty tasty!

    J pronounced this dessert as “the best cake I’ve ever eaten!” Rich with butter and chunks of local Cortland apples, this sublime dessert was simple and delectable. We went back for seconds and finished off the rest the following morning. This cake deserves a round of applause!

    I may replace some of the all-purpose flour with a smidge of white whole wheat flour. I’ll report back…

    Marie-Helene’s Cake at Frankly Entertaining

    I had a larger spring form pan than the recipe called for, so I decided to increase the ingredients by half. I kept the same baking time and it worked out great.

    I also decided to use lemon juice instead of the rum, which I am sure changes the flavor significantly. But we all loved it and everyone is looking forward to me making it again!

  78. Lexi October 29, 2010 at 11:21 AM #

    I decided to gild this lily by sprinkling on some turbinado sugar and hitting it with a kitchen torch. So, so good.

    This cake is perfect for last minute guests as I usually have all these ingredients in my pantry. The flavor actually reminded me of my apple pancakes that I make! I love how you can keep it simple or dress it up with different toppings. I used Fuji, Gala. Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith Apples in mine and topped it with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

    Here’s my photo:

    Not thrilled with the outcome although the flavors are nice. Too wet and bread pudding-y for my taste. Too many apples maybe? I even baked it 30 extra minutes.

    I’m thinking I’ll throw slices into a hot skillet in the morning for a nice Saturday breakfast.

    • gigi October 29, 2010 at 9:47 PM #

    Oh, this was a great recipe to try!
    I used cognac instead of rum, with outstanding results. My house smells sooo good! I was trepidations since there was no cinnamon, or nutmeg, or cloves. I mean really! How can you cook apples without spices? I was wrong.

    This cake tasted great! Looks on the other hand, were so-so due to used error! Next time I will use the correct pan size or increase the recipe as suggested above. I also might use a touch smaller apples.

    Here is mine! I loved choosing the divers apples, as I am a real apple lover! I found this came out very moist and more like a kugel than what I would consider a cake (perhaps due to the fact that I only had a 9″ springform and doubled the recipe, and then used my 9″ and some individual ramekins). Love the rum!!

    A little late, but still DELICIOUS.

    I would like to offer a BIG smooch to whomever first suggested brown butter. It brought this cake to a totally new level.

    Mine broke b/c we were so impatient (and didn’t use a springform) but it was still so tasty, we didn’t care!

    I made mine weeks ago and am barely getting it posted on time! Hate it when Friday’s feel more like Mondays! At least it’s over! At 4 today I learned that Trick or Treating was going on tonight in our county. Glad I wasn’t trying to bake during that fun…

    I’m looking forward to trying this with browned butter as some mentioned in the questions section… and reading Mrs. Bones comments about that…can’t try it soon enough! Wonder how many varieties of apples I have in the house…hmmm….

    While quite tasty…I would not say it was as stellar as the previous three recipes.

    A little late, but here it is nonetheless! I’m not sure I’d categorize this as a cake, but I thought it was good and I’ll probably make it again- next time using apple brandy instead of rum. :)

    Also a tad late… it’s just past midnight here in CA! The cake was awesome. Definitely an easy and great recipe.

    I’m sure it’s still Friday (somewhere in the world).

    This cake was out of this world.

    I liked the flavor of this cake–just the right touch of rum–but I found the batter a bit squishy where it pooled at the base. The texture reminded me a bit of bread pudding, rather moist as if soaked instead of the expected cake texture. I really liked the different taste from the different apples. I warmed it to serve and topped it with some homemade caramel sauce.

    When will you post the final list for the November recipes?

    I baked it Friday night. Saturday morning it was delicious. That bit of resting really allows the flavors to mellow and accentuate.

    I finally got it put together late Saturday night…unfortunately (or fortunately?) we fell asleep before it cooled enough to eat…but it was lovely with brunch the next morning!

    Super easy and super delicious. Maybe I should substitute this for Apple Pie on Thanksgiving???

    I guess better late than never! My Friday turned into Sunday before I knew it.

    Like many others, it’s better late than never for me, too. I *made* the cake Friday, 2 of them, but I didn’t write it up till now.

    Baked this on Saturday night, and took some photos to post today. For me this was the most successful recipe so far.

    Late writing up my blog post, but made it about a week ago. Fun and easy cake that is also unique and delicious!

    Ladies, sorry I am so late posting. We just moved to Colorado Springs and I missed the Hatchis Parmentier and Marie-Helene’s Apple Cake. I’m caught up now and back on track!

    I was out of town so am very late posting – now I am over a week behind. Anyway, I had a 9 1/2″ pan so increased the recipe by 50% and would not want it any smaller :) Very good cake and I liked that it was not as sweet as most cakes.

    Better late than never!! I loved this cake. It was more like a bread pudding, which I love!

    No links, but the cake was delicious – and so easy to make. Two things I like alot for it to be a repeater in my kitchen!

  149. Guileless Gourmande May 24, 2011 at 5:37 PM #

    Another recipe from the past completed! I made this cake today for a dessert potluck, and people really liked it. Yum!
