The apple cake by the glass is a simple snack or breakfast cake made with fresh cream and apples that my grandmother used to make without using a scale. Flavored with orange and orange liqueur, it is very soft and fragrant; for children, feel free to omit the liqueur. You can also use a less refined flour such as type 1. You can make this apple cake by the glass lactose-free by using lactose-free or plant-based cream, while for the gluten-free version, here’s the recipe.
