This cake looks much more difficult to make than it actually is. Spiraling the apples on top will guarantee it’s the most elegant looking dessert in the room. Slice the apples as thinly as you can, about 1/4″ thick to make sure the apples are tender as they cake is cooked through. A springform pan is very helpful here as this makes a tall cake and your springform should be deep enough to hold all of the batter. It also makes for easy slicing and no need to turn you cake upside down so that they beautiful apples are presented on top. Drizzle a little caramel on the slices or serve with freshly whipped cream.
