• Allow to soak for at least 20 minutes.
• Peel, core and cut the apples into 1/4 inch thick slices.
• At this point, pre-heat the oven to 350 F and start making the pastry.
• Combine the flour and butter in a large bowl and, working quickly, use your fingertips to rub the flour and fat together until they look like flakes of coarse meal.
• With a large spoon, beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, then beat in the sugar and lemon peel.
• Use your fingers to pat the pastry evenly into the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan, 2 inches high.
• Now fill the pastry shell.
• Start by stirring the breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter from the filling list of ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the dough in the pan and spread the apples over it.
• Drain the currants and set the rum aside.
• Scatter the currants over the apples.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes.
• During this first stage of baking, beat the eggs and yolks for the custard along with the 1/3 cup sugar together until they are thick and lemon coloured.
• Beat in the rum and cream and pour half of this evenly over the apples in the parly baked cake.
• Bake the tart for 20 more minutes oruntil the custard is set, then pour in the rest of the custard and bake for 30 minutes longer.

• Slide onto a cake plate and serve.

APPLE RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Line bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper; butter parchment paper and sides of pan.
• Set a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat oven to 350°.
• Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl (glass or stainless); let stand while you prepare the batter.
• In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well and set aside.
• In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition.
• Beat in vanilla; using a rubber spatula, fold in half the flour mixture.
• Drain the apples in a colander set over a bowl; add the milk to any rum that drains into the bowl and stir the liquids into the batter, then fold in the remaining flour mixture.
• Spread half the cake batter evenly in the prepared pan; scatter with the sliced apple mixture.
• Scrape remaining batter onto the filling and smooth out.
• Slide a foil-lined cookie sheet onto the rack below the middle one to catch any drips.
• Bake for 55-65 minutes or until cake is risen, firm, and deep golden and the apples are cooked through and tender.
• Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes, then loosen the cake by running a sharp paring knife around the inside of the pan, scraping the knife against the pan, not the cake.
• Remove the sides and slide the cake off the base to a rack to finish cooling.
• When the cake has cooled completely, invert the cake onto a plate, remove the paper, and invert the cake onto the rack again so it is right side up.
• Make the glaze: stir together the powdered sugar and rum in a small saucepan; mix well.
• Place over medium heat until warm and fluid.
• Drizzle half the glaze over the top of the cake in a series of parallel lines.
• Rewarm the glaze if necessary and drizzle another series of lines on a diagonal to the first ones.
• Wait until the glaze dries, then slide the cake onto a platter.
• Serve with ice cream or whipped cream; this cake is best served on the day it is made.
