Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons biscotti, crumbs
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons sugar
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 apples, pared
4 apples, sliced into 8 wedges
1/3 cup almonds, coarsely chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350º. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10-inch spring-form pan or cake pan. Sprinkle the crumbs in the pan, being sure to coat the bottom and sides as evenly as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sugar with butter. Add one egg at a time until all are incorporated.
Sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the bowl until a smooth batter is formed. Pour batter into pan.
Toss the apple slices in the cinnamon and 3 tablespoons remaining sugar, then press each one lightly into the batter to form a decorative pattern (pinwheel pattern is the prettiest). Scatter chopped almonds across the top.
Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
