Directions:Preheat oven to 325'.
Peel and core the apples. Split the rings in 1/2.
Gently toss the peeled apples with the cinnamon and honey. Count out 14 1/2 rings and set aside. They'll be used on the top. Crunch the rest of the apples into a little bit smaller pieces. Set aside.
Assemble the remaining ingredients.
Put all the cake ingredients (not the apples) into the mixing bowl. Beat on low to blend. Turn the mixer to high and beat for 2 minutes. This is very important. We need to incorporate air into the mixture so the cake is nice and tall after it bakes.
Put 1/3 of the batter into the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle 1/2 the apples on top of the cake batter. Make sure they lay flat and don't stand up against the side of the pan.
Add another layer of the batter. Follow with the rest of the apples (but not the ones for the top). Add the remaining batter.
Arrange the remaining apples around the top of the cake. Drizzle any honey/cinnamon that may be left over the top of the cake. Bake a 10' for an hour or so. The cake is done when it springs back all the way after being pressed with a finger on top.
When the cake is baked, remove from the oven and let sit about 1/2 hour on a wire rack to cool. Set onto cake plate.
Heat the apricot jam in the microwave, thin with a little hot water if it is too thick. Brush over top of cake to glaze. Allow cake to cool before cutting. |
