Add a photoA French neighbor in NY introduced me to this cake when she served it to me made with apricots. She told me it's traditionally done with apples (I used 1 Honey Crisp and 1 Granny Smith) and wrote on the card:" Note the use of salted butter- this dessert originates in Brittany which is "the land of salted butter"."
