French Apple Cake

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 large honeycrisp, braeburn, or Fiji apples (or 3 small)
3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons dark rum

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch springform pan with butter.
Peel and core the apples and chop them into 1/2-inch chunks. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer until pale. Whisk in rum and vanilla.
Add half of the flour mixture and gently stir to incorporate. Add half of the melted butter and again, gently stir. Stir in remaining flour mixture followed by the rest of the butter.
Fold in the apples until they are coated with batter. It will seem like there are too many apples, but that’s okay.
Spread batter in prepared pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle top with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Let cake cool 15 minutes in pan before carefully removing. Enjoy!
