Ingredients

• 4 large Tart apples
• 3/4 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.25 cups Sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Brandy
• 1/2 cup Chopped walnuts
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar

Steps

1. Toss the diced apples with the brandy, half the sugar, and the cinnamon; rest 20 minutes. The apples release their juices and the sugar starts dissolving into a spiced syrup.
2. Cream the butter with the remaining sugar until fluffy, beat in the eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour and baking powder.
3. Fold in the apples with all their syrupy juices and the walnuts. The batter will be chunky and generous — that is correct.
4. Bake in a buttered 9-inch springform at 350°F for 50 to 55 minutes until deep golden and a skewer comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
5. Cool 20 minutes, release the ring, and dust with powdered sugar. Serve barely warm with thick yogurt; the tang against the spiced apples is the whole dessert.
