Quebec apple cake (Cortland)

Preparation

1. Sprinkle apple pieces with lemon juice and place in a large skillet with 125 ml (1/2 cup) melted butter.
2. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat, turning the quarters often.
3. As soon as the butter begins to brown, add 30 ml (2 tbsp.) rum, then the honey, cinnamon powder and half the pistachios. Cook more briskly until the apples turn a lovely light caramel color.
4. In a food processor, combine eggs, sugar, flour, 30 ml (2 tablespoons) melted butter and 30 ml (2 tablespoons) rum.
5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
6. Cut out 8 squares of parchment paper. Lightly butter them and place them on a baking sheet.
7. Place 8 cookie cutters in a 7 cm (3") diameter circle, butter the inside with the remaining butter, then flour.
8. Place the apple wedges in the circles, packing them well, add the pistachio caramel from cooking the apples and pour the pastry over them.
9. Place the cakes in the upper part of the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven.
10. Place the 8 circles upside down on 8 plates.
11. Lift parchment paper, remove circles, sprinkle with remaining pistachios and serve warm or hot with ice cream.
