Recipe directions

• Prepare the Apples
• Add the water and lemon juice to a large bowl.
• Peel and core the apples.
• Cut the apples into thin slices.
• Transfer the apple slices to the bowl with the lemon water to prevent them from browning.
• Prepare the Cake Batter
• Add the granulated sugar and orange juice to a separate large mixing bowl.
• Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
• Add the vanilla, salt, and plant-based margarine or corn oil.
• Mix until evenly combined.
• Add the sifted self-rising flour and baking powder.
• Stir thoroughly until a smooth, thick batter forms.
• Add the Apples
• Drain the apple slices thoroughly.
• Add the 50 g sugar and ground cinnamon to the apples.
• Toss until the slices are evenly coated.
• Add the apples to the cake batter.
• Mix gently until the apple slices are evenly distributed.
• Prepare the Pan
• Grease a 25 × 37 cm (10 × 14½-inch) baking pan with plant-based margarine or corn oil.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
• Spread it evenly across the pan.
• Bake
• Bake in a preheated oven at 355°F (180°C) using conventional top and bottom heat.
• Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until the cake is golden and fully baked in the center.
• Insert a skewer or toothpick into an area without a large apple slice. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• Cool and Serve
• Let the apple cake cool completely in the pan.
• Dust the surface with powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
• Cut into squares and serve.
