Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 60 milliliters milk
• 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or similar)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 100 grams Stevia or erythritol sweetener

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round springform pan.

Step 2

Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sweetener until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice and a teaspoon of cinnamon until well coated.

Step 7

Spread half the cake batter into the prepared pan. Layer the apple slices evenly over the batter, reserving a few slices for the top.

Step 8

Spread the remaining batter over the apples and gently press the reserved slices on top of the batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove the springform and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
