During my childhood summers in France, I often found myself in the kitchen alongside my stepmom. It was there that I discovered my deep love for French cooking, which grew stronger each year. Among the countless delights of French cuisine, the rustic and unassuming cakes truly captured my heart. Unlike the elaborate pastries displayed in glass cases across the country, these cakes are simplicity at its finest. Typically prepared in one bowl, these single-layer creations come without frosting or glazes. They are the perfect everyday indulgence—snack cakes meant for the afternoon goûter or a sweet bite to brighten the day. This French Apple Cake embodies everything I adore about these uncomplicated desserts.
