Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 100 grams Cane sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
• 120 ml Soy milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 60 ml Coconut oil, melted
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with a little coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Add cane sugar and salt, and whisk to combine.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the vanilla extract, unsweetened applesauce, soy milk, melted coconut oil, and lemon juice until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

Step 6

Pour the cake batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter, pressing them slightly into the batter.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before releasing the springform. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
