TWD: Apple Shortbread Cake

I made this cake last night and because I made it so late I didn't get to taste it until this morning. That was probably the best thing that could have happened because the cake was perfect for breakfast. I don't know if it's because I halved the recipe and used one whole egg and apples instead of cranberry but the cake tasted more like a pastry than an actual cake, thus making it perfect for breakfast. I also wish I would have chopped up more apples for the filling. Regardless, the cake was easy to make and made to be paired with whatever filling concoction you can think up.

How pretty is it as a centerpiece?
