Ingredients

For the Batter:

  • 2 eggs
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar (100 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk (100 ml)
  • 1 3/4 tbsp melted butter (20 g)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup wheat flour (80 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder

For the Apples:

  • 4–5 medium apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Method

1. Prepare the Batter:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and a pinch of salt until light and frothy.
  2. Add sugar and vanilla sugar, beating on high speed until the mixture is creamy and bubbly.
  3. Mix in the lemon zest, melted butter, and milk until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually sift in the flour and baking powder, folding gently to ensure a smooth batter.

2. Prepare the Apples:

  1. Peel, core, and thinly slice 4–5 medium apples using a sharp knife.
  2. Drizzle the apple slices with the juice of half a lemon to prevent browning and enhance flavor. Toss to coat evenly.

3. Assemble and Bake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Line an 18 cm baking dish or casserole dish with parchment paper. Grease with oil and dust lightly with flour.
  3. Gently fold the apple slices into the batter until evenly coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips for Success
