Good Genteles,

Below is a recipe from one of my aforementioned television shows.  The first 
part of the name is supposedly from france.  Has anyone ever heard of this 
region and is this recipe (ro some form of it) period.  I thank you in 
advance for any enlightenment you may give.

QUERCYAN APPLE CAKE 

450g / 1lb plain flour 
½ tsp baking powder 
2eggs 
40g / 1½oz butter, creamed 

FOR THE FILLING:
1.5kg / 3lb apples, peeled and thinly sliced 
225g / 8oz sugar 
120 ml/4fl oz rum 
85ml / 3fl oz orange flower water 
thinly pared rind of 1 lemon 

TO FINISH:
25g / 1oz butter, melted 
1 egg, beaten 
caster sugar (granulated sugar)

Macerate the sliced apples with the filling ingredients overnight.  Strain 
the apples, reserving the juice. 

Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, put butter and eggs into 
a well in the centre.  Working with the fingertips gradually add 200ml / 7fl 
oz of the liquid from the apples.  Work into a smooth and elastic paste with 
your hand and leave to rest for 2 hours. Roll out as thinly as possible, then 
transfer to a floured cloth on a large table.  Working from the centre, with 
the palms of your hands, carefully stretch the paste to the thinness of a 
cigarette paper.  Rest it and yourself for 1 hour. 

Brush lightly with melted butter and dust with sugar, cover with well drained 
apples and roll up.  Mix the remaining juice into the beaten egg and brush 
over the top.  Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C / 390°F / Gas 5 for 50-55 
minutes.
