Directions

1
Finely grind 100 g walnuts. Whip cream until stiff and chill. Peel 2 apples, cut them in half, remove the seeds and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.

Add Calvados and whipped cream and stir in briefly. Fill half of the dough into a greased and floured box form (28 cm long; 2 litres capacity) and smooth it down. Place the apple halves one after the other (with the opening facing downwards) on the dough. Place the rest of the dough on top and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 70 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Remove from the tin and let it cool down on a cake rack. Spread 50 g walnuts on a piece of aluminium foil. Caramelise 4 tablespoons of sugar in a pan until golden brown. Sprinkle the walnuts with caramel and let them cool down. In the meantime wash 1 apple, grate it dry and cut it into slices.
