The lightly rum flavored batter just barely covers the chopped apples but when it bakes, it fills in and you have a perfect cake where the apples are really outstanding. No cinnamon needed!I only made a small version of the cake to have as dessert after our dinner of mussels and chorizo last week. It was gone in seconds. In the future, I'll probably double the recipe instead. Thanks for another great pick Dorie and thanks to Marie-Helene for a priceless recipe.

I didn't expect this to taste so amazing either because the ingredients were so simple. It was a perfect dessert for your dinner!
I just got my copy of the book today and this one of the first recipes I flagged. Glad to hear it's a winner :)
Looks great! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it - I left out the rum, but added spices and it was heavenly! :)
mmm those chunks of apple look divine! Buttercreambarbie
Lovely crust on top! That would not have lasted very long around me!
i'm loving the apple-rum-vanilla combo. great cake, and glad you enjoyed it!
I love the cake from Smitten Kitchen too, although this one was yummy as well. Love your mini!
Nice lil' cake! That's funny, go from halving the recipe to doubling it. ;)
It looks and sounds wonderful! I skipped this one because we didn't even need a small dessert.
This looks terrific! I really need to get in the kitchen and make it already.
This is one of the first times, I would say, you made a mistake, not to make the whole cake. So delicious.
ooof. This looks guuuud.
One of those times you wished you made the full recipe - I agree! It disappeared, and I can see why. Yours is the perfect, browned apple cake. Definitely a surprise - this one!
