  • Finally, add the vanilla extract and the spices, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

    Mix everything and set aside.

    Once all the apples are sliced, add them to the batter and mix with a spatula.

    Leave a few slices to place on top of the cake as decoration.

  • Butter and flour a 10.2-inch springform pan and pour in the apple mixture. Finally, decorate with the apple slices set aside.

Useful Tips

I used Golden apples but you can easily use Renette apples as well.

Regarding the spices, if you don’t like too strong flavors, add them little by little until you reach the dose you prefer.

Always do the toothpick test before removing the cake from the oven to see if it’s cooked.
