This is a sophisticated cake but very simple in its preparation just like all French cuisine .

Spray a slice tray with cooking oil .
Peel , quarter and core 9 green apples( 1.8 kg )
Slice the apples thinly , place them on the slice tray and sprinkle with a little oil , lemon juice , the grated zest of 1 lemon and a sprinkling of ground cinnamon at least 1 tbs .
Toss gently .
Place in your preheated oven until just warmed though and slightly softened .
Grease your baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs .
It’s now time to make a packet of jelly with 2/3 rds of a cup of water and add 1/3 of strawberry jam
Mix together until jelly crystals are melted and jam combined .
This is how simple this exquisite cake is .....
Now arrange a layer of overlapping apple slices over the base of your greased baking dish /pan as this base will be the top of your French apple cake .
