1 egg
150 g plain flour
100 ml milk
50 g melted butter

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation procedure

Preheat the oven: Turn the oven to 180 °C. Prepare a small baking dish or cake tin and grease it with butter, then lightly dust with flour.
Prepare the apples: Peel the apples, remove the cores and slice them thinly. For a stronger flavor you can toss the apples with a little cinnamon and sugar.

Assembling the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and evenly arrange the sliced apples on its surface. Press them lightly into the batter so they meld nicely while baking.
