Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease an 8-inch springform pan.

Make lengthwise cuts into rounded sides of the apple quarters, cutting about three quarters of the way through. Arrange the quarters, rounded side up, around the edge of cake. Bake for about 1 hour.
Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tbsp warm water; stir until dissolved. Stir in the jam. Spread half the jam mixture over the hot cake. Cool the cake in the pan. Remove the cake from the pan. Brush with the remaining warmed jam mixture.
