["Heat the oven to 180u00b0C fan bake and line a 22cm cake tin with baking paper.", "Prepare the syrup: Combine honey and water in a pot over medium-low heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has thickened slightly.", "Starting from the outside, arrange the apple slices in the bottom of the lined tin. They should be overlapping, in a neat ring, and form a tight, fanned-out pattern. Do the same with the inner circle. Pour about 4 tablespoons of the syrup over the fruit.", "To make the cake: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Add eggs and continue to beat for another minute. Gradually add the ground almonds, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, poppy seeds and yoghurt, until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix.", "Pour into the tin, covering the apple slices.Bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden in colour, springy to the touch and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for around 10 minutes before turning onto a rack.", "Serve warm with a dollop of creme fraiche.

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

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
