When I think of cake, an image of black forest or red velvet pops into my head - something entirely traditional and not nearly as creative as this Apple Gateau recipe from the SippitySup website.
Originally created by chef Anne Willan, the Apple Gateau cake may look like an easy and fun thing to whip up in the kitchen, but don't let the stacked structure fool you; this cake can take up to 14 hours until it's ready to be served. Requiring only four ingredients to make (apples, butter, sugar and cinnamon), the preparation includes careful layering and placement of apple slices followed by 12 to 14 hours of baking in the oven.
Wildly simple yet incredibly intricate, the Apple Gateau cake is a lovely fall treat for those seeking out something other than pumpkin and spice.
