When I saw that there was more butter than flour I was dubious, but went with it any way. However - when I took it from the oven the cake was oozing fat and had barely risen Usually my cakes work out pretty ell, so very disappointed

Do you have to cook the apples first?

This looks very good. Why do you leave the mixture sitting for 30 minutes ? and what would happen if you cooked it straight away ? Does the baking powder not start to work as soon as you add wet ingredients. I am dying to try this but I was always told as soon as you add wet ingredients to a mixture with baking soda then it starts to react. Thanks

This was wonderful! I was surprised how well the calvados made its presence felt. I'm going to try adapting it with no alcohol and perhaps with other fruit liqueurs brought back from holidays.
It's certainly going to become one of my tried and trusted favourites so thank you very much. -

You should also put some brown sugar and vanilla extract on the apples pieces before adding them to the mixture!
