1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Grease a 10 inch springform pan.
3
Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze the lemon juice into the water.

14
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until combined.
15
Pour batter over apples and toss, coating apples thoroughly.
16
Turn the apples into the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to scrape all of the batter out then smooth out the top so the apple slices are laying flat.
17
Bake for 35 40 minutes until batter is set and apples are soft but not mushy.
18
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then run a spatula between the cake and the edge of the pan and release.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
