Buttery Cinnamon Cake W/Apple Compote image

This recipe is from LCBO's Food & Drink Fall 2010 magazine. I had the cake at a dinner party last night and it was just delectable! Perfect for Fall. Use tart apples like Northern Spy, Empire or Spartans. The cake is best when served while still warm.

The wapple compote was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

I would have loved it if the wapple compote recipe was a bit more detailed. It felt a bit rushed.
