Sinful Apple, Muesli cake of caramelised apple-pastis


So the popping question is what do i do with 5 kilos of free apple (remember i collected them on the road in Massif Central with my mother in-law)? Considering that my husband is not really an apple person (neither me). I just couldn't make a simple compote with them and tarte tatin is too simple for him... So i concocted this recipe inspired with a oatmeal cake recipe i read in an inflight magazine when we went to New york. Luckily I discovered that I have a box of muesli cereals that's near it's expiration. I thought it would be a perfect ingredient to go with my cake. The result is an amazing delicious cake. It's a bit crunchy outside and creamy inside. The caramelized apple blended well too with the pastis liquor that I used (it is basically a liquor popular in Marseille made of anis and reglisse).

Ingredients: 125 g of butter
110 g of brown sugar
150 g of flour
60 g of muesli cereals with dried fruits
1 egg
1 tbsp of baking powder
1 tsp of cinnamon
2 tsps of pastis
25 g of butter
6 apples

Peel and slice the apples (remove the middle part). On a bowl marinate the apple with pastis and cinnamon powder for thirty minutes. Caramelise them on a pan with 25 g of butter and set them aside. Beat the egg and mix the sugar. Add into the mixutre the dry ingredients; flour, bakign powder and muesli cereals. Melt the butter and add into the mixture. Grease a baking pan and put half of the cake mixture , and layer them after wards with the caramelised apples. Cover it with the rest of the cake mixture. Cook at 370 F for 20-25 minutes on a pre-heated oven.

Writing on any subject is not an easy task, when you write on any subject it is very difficult. Anyone who thinks that he will write something easily on any subject, then his thinking is very wrong, I do not know that perhaps those people will have to put so much mind. Whatever you have written in your post, it has been written very beautifully, you are a person writing a good post, the more you are praised, the less it is.
