This is a szarlotka. It's a kind of Polish apple pie-cake. I've had this recipe marked ever since I bought this cookbook -- Baking with Dorie. Since I've been planning on making this recipe, I've been collecting a variety of apples, so I was happy that this recipe was chosen for September. I also included the golden raisins in the filling, but I think dried cranberries would also be a delicious addition. I loved the grated topping. Some of the pastry dough is set aside and frozen, then grated over the top before baking.
This is definitely a winning recipe for fall and for apple lovers.
Stop by the Tuesdays with Dorie website to see what the other bakers chose to make for September.

what a beauty--looking forward to baking this one for next time.
This looks so beautiful...and fun. I've never had anything like this so I did get all the ingredients to make it soon. Now I'm torn...while I do love raisins of any kind, your suggestion of dried cranberries sounds so good to me. Such a nice photo.
This is definitely for the apple lover. It looks like yours came out beautiful.
It is quite a large cake but definitely delicious. Yours looks appetising.
