And although I love just snacking on our apples, there are some days when I want a warm apple cake. I just saw the recipe for sharlotka, below, a Ukrainian apple cake and I look forward to baking it this week.

Ingredients:
4 apples 4 eggs 1 cup granulated sugar Pinch of salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preparation:
Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Peel some or all of the apples and core them, then slice. Loza says it’s fine if some are thicker and some are thinner.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and salt. You want to whisk enough for the sugar to dissolve. Should take about a minute. Then add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon and fold until no lumps of flour remain. Fold in the apples. It should look like lots of apples and just a little bit of batter.
Bake for 30 minutes and check to see if apples are tender and cake is cooked through. It may take 45 minutes total. Cool at least a little before serving.
