A good apple cake that may not look so exciting, but makes up for it in taste. It's not a particularly sweet apple cake, so I almost think it's a requirement to have custard with this. The Scanian apple cake is a common dessert for a "goose dinner".

Instead of cooking an apple compote, you can mix the apples with a few dl of applesauce, but I think it will probably be a little better with the compote.

I use "Aroma" apples here, but it works well with many other varieties too. Apples from österlen are of course preferred :)

Served here with homemade custard, which can be prepared an hour or so before and kept in the fridge. Can also be served with ice cream or whipped cream.
