Cookbook
🍎 Ingredients (for a 22–24 cm pan)
3 large apples (about 600 g, peeled)
2 eggs
80 g brown sugar (or white sugar)
80 g plain flour
50 ml milk
30 ml vegetable oil (or 25 g melted butter)
1 packet baking powder
Grated zest of 1 lemon
A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
👉 Total: about 160 kcal per slice (10 servings).
👩🍳 Step-by-step preparation
1️⃣ Prepare the apples
Peel the apples, remove the core, and cut them into very thin slices. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent them from browning. 🍋
2️⃣ Beat the eggs with the sugar
Beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer to incorporate air and make the cake fluffier.
3️⃣ Add the liquids
Combine the milk, oil, and lemon zest. Add cinnamon for a warmer, spicier flavor.
4️⃣ Incorporate the dry ingredients
Sift the flour and baking powder, add them to the mixture, and mix gently. The mixture will be runny: this is normal; much of the consistency comes from the apples!
5️⃣ Add the apples
Add almost all of the apple slices to the mixture and mix. Keep a few aside for the final decoration.
6️⃣ Pour and decorate
Pour the batter into a 22–24 cm cake pan lined with parchment paper. Decorate the surface with the remaining apple slices, arranged in a radial pattern. 🍏
7️⃣ Baking
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40–45 minutes. If it browns too much, cover with aluminum foil. A toothpick should come out clean. Let it cool before unmold and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar.
💡 Nutritionist’s Tips
🥄 Reduce the sugar to 60g if the apples are very sweet.
🌾 Replace half the flour with whole wheat or oat flour.
🥛 Plant-based milk (soy, oat, or almond) is perfect for a lactose-free version.
🍯 Sweeten with honey or erythritol to reduce calories.
🍋 Try it with orange zest for a more delicate flavor.
👉 Store in a glass jar or in the refrigerator for 2–3 days.
