Servings

This recipe is for 12 servings.

Ingredients

  • Eggs: 4 (separate yolks from whites)
  • Sugar: 120g (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon)
  • Flour: 120g (1 cup)
  • Melted butter: 125g (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon)
  • Water: 120ml (1/2 cup)
  • Granny Smith apples: 3 medium (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • Lemon juice: from 1 lemon
  • Cinnamon or powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 150°C (302°F).
  • Begin by peeling and thinly slicing the apples. Toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance their sweetness.
  • Grease or line the bottom of a baking pan and arrange the apple slices evenly at the bottom.
  • Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks with sugar, flour, melted butter, and water, mixing until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the beaten egg whites into the batter, ensuring no white streaks remain.
  • Pour the batter carefully over the sliced apples in the pan.
  • Bake for 50-70 minutes. Check for doneness at 50 minutes; the cake should not jiggle, and the top should be slightly hard and golden brown. Cover with foil if the top starts to burn before the cake is set.
  • Allow the cake to cool before serving. Optionally, dust with cinnamon or powdered sugar.
