Voila!

Apple Gingerbread Cake With Cream
Bon Appetit Magazine, Oct 2016, p.100
4.5 stars

This recipe is not for a beginner baker, and it's not a quick recipe.  Not hard, just a lot of steps and takes some time!

It's a really nice fall/winter dessert that's a bit on the sweet side primarily because of the caramel.  With vanilla bean ice cream on the side, it's perfect for a apple-gingerbread lover.

Ingredients:  unsalted butter, light brown sugar, lady apples, flour, baking powder, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, dark molasses, pure maple syrup, eggs, fresh ginger, baking soda, heavy cream

Tips:
  • Cooked the apples all at once in a large skillet vs. in 2 batches.
  • Sliced the apples differently than how Bon Appetit sliced them.
  • Baked for 47 min.
  • Next time, will cut the salt to just 1 tsp.  Each bite is a little on the salty side.
