Jammy, cinnamon-spiced apples, sandwiched between tender vanilla cake layers then dusted with sugar, create a unique Romanian apple dessert whose name translates to “poured apple pastry,” a reference to the batter used for the cake layers. Coarsely grated apples are simmered in their own juices, maintaining a buttery, tender consistency that’s not as mushy as puréed apples yet not quite as chewy as sliced apples. Half the cake batter is poured into the bottom of the pan and partially baked. The apples get spread over the baked layer and topped with the remaining batter. Once baked and cooled, the cake is sliced into bars and topped with powdered sugar for an irresistibly tender and light dessert.
