Ingredients
  

4 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced

3 large eggs

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup oat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce (optional for extra moisture)

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix well.

      In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

        Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. If desired, mix in the applesauce for extra moisture.

          Gently fold in the thinly sliced apples and lemon zest until they are evenly coated with the batter. The batter will be thick and apple-dense.

            Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.

              Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

                Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    - Presentation Tips: Dust the cooled cake with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar and serve slices with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a delightful contrast in flavors. Enjoy!
