How to Prepare the Easy APPLE PIE
Peel the apples, remove the core, slice them, and place them in a bowl full of water with the juice of half a lemon.
Melt the butter in a bain-marie or in the microwave and let it cool.
Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan. Alternatively, you can line it with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 356°F static or 320°F fan.
Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the melted butter, grated lemon zest, and mix for a few moments.
Add the sifted flour and baking powder, and continue to mix with the beaters for a few minutes.
Finally, drain the apples and add them to the batter; mix well with a spoon or spatula.
Pour everything into the prepared pan and level the surface with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven at 356°F static, or 320°F fan, for about 50 minutes.
Once cooked, leave the cake in the turned-off oven with the door slightly open for about 10 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly, then remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
Before serving the apple pie, sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
