I baked this apple pastry cake for Thanksgiving. The recipe was from a book A Passion for Baking by Marcy Goldman (this is an amazing book for those home bakers out there). It is a hybrid between a pie and a cake. The entire cake is filled with plumped raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar coated apples (I think I used at least 8 medium sized apples) and after about 40 minutes of baking, custard is poured into the filling and popped back into the oven.
It can be served warm or cold. The apples still have a bit of a crunch and the creamy custard filling between these apple pieces give each bite a wonderful mix of textures.
I wish I had a picture of a piece cut out...
