1

Slice 2.5 pounds of apples very thinly using a mandolin. Use a glove for safety.

2

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar for a few minutes until fluffy and light.

3

Add 1 cup of flour, allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder to the egg mixture.

4

Mix the dry ingredients in gradually, starting with half to prevent clumping.

5

Add milk to the mixture and then the remaining flour, mixing on low speed.

6

Finally, add melted butter to the batter and mix by hand to ensure everything is well combined.

7

Prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with non-stick spray.

8

Pour about half a cup of batter into the bottom of the loaf pan.

9

Layer in one third of the sliced apples, ensuring the flat sides are against the pan to avoid gaps.

10

Add another third of the batter on top of the apples, followed by another half cup of apples, repeating the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with batter on top.

11

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 80 to 90 minutes until the apples are cooked through.
