M E T H O D

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a pan and set aside.
• In a bowl mix together flour and baking powder.
• Juice the lemons in a large bowl and set aside.
• Peel the apples and cut them in half. Then slice them very thinly, and place in the bowl of lemon juice to avoid discolouration.
• In a pot, place the butter and measure the milk. Then add the milk to the butter and bring it to a boil. Turn off the gas and let it cool for 5 minutes.
• In a separate large bowl, crack the eggs and add sugar, then beat for about 7 minutes with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes pale, thick and creamy.
• Slowly add the butter and milk mixture to the bowl of eggs and sugar, and continue to beat for 3 more minutes.
• Now, add the flour and baking powder and mix well with a spatula.
• Pour the batter into the greased pan. And layer the apple slices overlapping one another in the batter.
• Then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture on top and bake for 25 minutes or until done.
• Serve with ice-cream or whipped cream.
