- 4 apples, peeled
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup white all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar

- 1 tspn baking powder

Instructions
Method of Preparation
- Slice the peeled apples thinly. Brush the springform cake pan with vegetable oil. Place the apple slices at the bottom as if you were making a hand fan.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F).
- Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs with a whisk or with a fork. Add sugar and continue to beat the eggs with a mixer for 5 minutes.
- Gradually add flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and nutmeg and mix well. The batter will look like the one for pancakes, maybe a little bit thicker. No need to add more flour.
- With a tablespoon, cover the apples in the baking form with the batter. Spread the batter between the apples. Then sprinkle the top with pieces of walnut.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Put aside to cool.
- In about 20 minutes, remove the cake from the form, put it on a cake platter, and dust it with powdered sugar. It is optional, in this recipe we used walnut pieces to garnish.
