The limoncello apple cake without butter is a fantastic limoncello-flavored apple cake, deliciously soft and entirely enjoyable. This is a simple, uncomplicated butter-free apple cake suitable for various times of the day: from breakfast to snack time, to accompany a cup of coffee in the afternoon or take to work as a snack or during a picnic. To flavor this apple cake, I used limoncello, which enhances the flavor. If serving to children, simply replace the limoncello with apple juice or diluted lemon juice. You can change the fruit; instead of apples, pears, peaches, or plums can be used, depending on the season and taste, or with other liqueurs like brandy or cointreau or strega liqueur. You can also add crushed nuts or sliced almonds on top. Try serving the Limoncello Apple Cake without Butter with some lemon curd or custard or delicious scoops of vanilla ice cream, a true delight to enjoy!
