Preheat the oven to 400°F (180°C).

Bake 2 apples in a greased baking dish with butter, sprinkled with cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar until soft, about 30 minutes.

Cool the apples for a few minutes, then blend into a puree, pressing through a sieve if desired.

Prepare a sponge cake base by lining a springform cake pan with parchment paper and greasing it with oil.

Separate an egg yolk from the egg white, beat the yolk with 1 tablespoon of sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in 1 tablespoon of flour.

Beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the yolk mixture.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned, then let it cool completely in the pan.

Soak gelatin in a small pan with water, then dissolve it on low heat.

In a bowl, mix the apple puree with half of the remaining sugar and Greek yogurt until fluffy.

Add the dissolved gelatin to the apple mixture while mixing, then fold in the whipped cream.

Drizzle 2/3 of a tablespoon of liquor on top of the cooled sponge cake (or use milk), then pour the mousse batter over the sponge and level it.

Refrigerate the cake for a few hours or overnight to let the mousse set.

Run a knife around the edges of the cake, remove it from the pan, and smooth the sides if necessary.

Mix a few teaspoons of condensed milk with dry shredded coconut and lemon juice to form a paste, shape into small balls, and roll in coconut flakes.

Decorate the cake with the coconut balls and sprinkle with remaining coconut.
