Instructions

1

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a 20cm (8-inch) round baking dish with parchment paper.
2

Blend Ingredients: Add the peeled chopped apples, eggs, ground cinnamon, honey, and baking powder to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
3

Pour Batter: Pour the smooth batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
4

Bake & Cool: Bake for 28–32 minutes until lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Enjoy!

Notes & Tips

🍎 Sweet Apple Varieties: Choose naturally sweet apples like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp for the best flavor without needing extra sweetener.
🥚 Room Temperature Eggs: Using room-temp eggs blends more smoothly and yields a fluffier, more even batter texture.
🌡️ Don’t Overbake: Check for doneness at 28 minutes. The center should spring back gently when pressed lightly.
✨ Serving Suggestion: Dust the top with a pinch of extra cinnamon or coconut sugar before serving for a bakery-worthy finish!
