It’s definitely getting to be the time of year when curling up with a hot cup of coffee and a good book sounds most appealing. I’ve stated my love for summer many a time, but there’s something about the crisp air coming in through windows cracked open, when you can wear sweaters and ballet flats but don’t need to worry about a heavy coat just yet.

This cake, which I actually made to celebrate Rosh Hashana weeks ago when Ari‘s mom was in town, was the perfect way to usher in fall. I love cakes that only use one bowl, and this still feels special enough to serve at a dinner party–but it tastes even better for breakfast the next day.

Apple Cake (Adapted from the New York Times)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan or regular cake pan, and set aside.
- With an electric mixer, combine remaining 8 ounces butter, 1 1/3 cups sugar and the salt. Mix until blended. Add eggs and whisk until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour and baking powder until thoroughly mixed. Fold in a few of the apples, and spread batter evenly in pan.
- In large bowl, toss remaining apples with Calvados, ginger and cinnamon. Arrange apple slices in closely fitting concentric circles on top of dough; all the slices may not be needed. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over apples.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into center of cake dough comes out clean and apples are golden and tender, about 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
