French Calvados Apple Cake

In autumn and winter, apples are in season and what better way to make the most of them than by baking a delicious apple cake? There are many versions but this apple cake with Calvados PDO might be one of our favourites. Calvados, a traditional French apple brandy from Normandy, has a rich, complex flavour that perfectly complements the apples in the cake. The final touch of crème fraîche, though optional, adds a sharp and fresh finish to this classic French apple cake recipe. Bon appétit
