Easy French Apple Cake
40 min
This cake is traditionally made with almond frangipane but this is a much quicker version that uses apple sauce. It's traditional to insert a charm, such as a penny or a gold ring, and whoever finds it will get good luck but it's completely optional!

- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking paper or parchment.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until 5 mm thick. Cut out two large circles of dough (about 24cm in diameter). Place one circle of dough onto the lined baking tray.
- Spread the applesauce over the centre of the pastry, leaving 4 cm the edge uncovered. If you want, insert a charm into the applesauce.
- Place the second circle of dough onto the first one. Press the edges to seal. Brush with egg yolk.
- Cut a small hole in the centre of the cake and decorate the top of the cake as you like with a knife. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
