INGREDIENTS :

• 2 eggs
• 3 Small Apples
• 2 tablespoons (40 grams) Brown Sugar
• 1 c. (150 grams) Plain, All-Purpose Flour
• 1/3 c. (100 grams) Applesauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 c. (120 grams) Melted Unsalted Butter
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon – optional

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Using the baking paper, line a 20cm/8inch round Springform Pan.

Step 3: In the microwave, melt the unsalted butter, then set aside to cool.

Step 4: After peeling the apples, core and slice them into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 5: Place the eggs and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until foamy, then add the melted butter and applesauce. Whisk until blended.

Step 6: Then, stir in the plain flour, baking powder, and salt. If desired, you can add ground cinnamon.

Step 7: Into the cake batter, fold in the slices of apple.

Step 8: Into the prepared pan, pour the cake batter and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9: Remove from the oven when done and serve the cake warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. If desired, you can dust the cake with a bit of Icing Sugar and/or Cinnamon Powder. Enjoy!

Note:

• Alternately, you can place around 1/4 of the cubed apples on the cake batter. This will be a nice decoration, showing more of the apples on the cake.
