Apple Sharlotka

• 4 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, quartered and thinly sliced)
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
• Confectioner's sugar (for dusting)

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease the bottom and side of an 8-inch springform pan.
2. 2. In a large bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice and 2 tbsp of the sugar and let stand for 15 min.
3. 3. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer beat the eggs with the almond extract and the remaining 3/4 c plus 2 tbsp sugar at medium-high speed unit thick and pale yellow and a ribbon forms when the beaters are lifted. 8-10 min. Gently fold in the dry ingredients just until incorporated.
4. 4. Spread the apples in the prepared pan in an even layer, then pour the batter evenly over them. Let stand for 5 min to allow the batter to sink in a little.
5. 5. Make for about 1 hr, until it is golden and crisp on top and a cake tester comes out clean. Transfer to a rack and let rest for 15 min. Unmold and transfer to a serving platter. Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve warm.
