brown cheese

🥗Healthier: cream cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Cream cheese provides a similar texture with less sweetness.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness and flavor.

all-purpose flour

1

Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C). Grease the sides of the spring form and line the bottom with baking paper.

2

Peel and core the apples and cut them into medium slices.

3

Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and the milk, mixing well.

4

Sift in the flour, baking powder and vanilla and stir until you have a smooth batter.

5

Spread the cake batter evenly in the spring form and arrange the apple slices on top in circles. Sprinkle the top with sugar and cinnamon.

6

Bake for about 40 minutes on the bottom rack until the cake is golden. You can test the center with a toothpick - no batter should stick to the toothpick when the cake is done.

7

Let the cake cool and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
