THE APPLE CAKE
Preparation : 30 min.
Cooking : 1h30
Our mother’s famous cake! The one that we’ve been eating to celebrate apple season since we were kids. So good that the chef of the Aux 2 Clochers restaurant in Frelighsburg added it to his menu. We're lucky, she gave us her recipe!

SUCRE À LA CRÈME SAUCE

125 ml (½ cup) 1% or 2% milk

Notes
Our mother’s advice
To thicken the caramel a little, add cornstarch diluted in water. And, for an even tastier cake, refrigerate it for 12 to 24 hours before serving.
